Drug Utilization Review calls take prescription verification to a new level: because I can perform this function with the assistance of a pharmacy technician, I can better focus my energy to achieve the highest standards of quality and accuracy.

With many prescriptions lacking specific information such as directions or quantity, and the similarity of drug names, pharmacists are under tremendous pressure to prevent errors. At Medco Health, extensive quality checks and balances are built into every step of the process. Our goal is to make it impossible for a patient to get the wrong medication or information.

Calling doctors to fill in all the gaps really tests your knowledge — you have to keep up with every medication prescribed. I get to put my clinical training from school and Medco Health to good use.
