5.24.2018 KM 16 Isn’t supplying information on all new prescriptions redundant since the same information is provided by a pharmacy?

No. Although it may be duplicate information, practices cannot assume that the pharmacy provided the information to the patient. Communication and partnership with patients are critical functions of the patient-centered medical home, and practices must ensure that patients/families/caregivers understand why medication was prescribed and its benefits and potential harms to the patient. Additionally, patients might not review prescription information provided by a pharmacy, and information might not be tailored to the needs of the patient/family/caregiver.
