Collaboration: Work with doctors, nurses, and caregivers to resolve medication-related problems and implement safer plans.
Patient Education & Advocacy: Advise patients and their families on medication use, serving as a crucial link in care.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure facilities meet standards from bodies like CMS and The Joint Commission, overseeing storage and administration.
