About Pharmacy Medication History
In Med History, our goal is to obtain the best possible medication history for each patient admitted to the hospital.

Medication History Technicians claim patients from a work list based on the patient’s location and the tech's scheduled shift assignment. Technicians follow a structured interview with the patient or caregiver and document the information into the electronic medical record. Discrepancies are communicated directly to the provider/pharmacist for resolution.
