For PeaceHealth Medical Group Patients
We care about your safety with medications. We want to know when you make
changes to the prescribed medicines, herbals, supplements or over the
counter medicines you take.
PeaceHealth Medical Group has a standard way to review this complete
information about what you take each and every time you visit with your
clinician.
-
During your visit, we print the medication list on
record and share it with you as you wait for your appointment
-
Please make any changes to this list so that it
accurately reflects what you currently take. Remember to include
herbals, supplements or over the counter medicines.
-
This list will be reviewed and confirmed with you and
we will update our computer record.
-
The clinician will talk with you about any changes or
additions that might be needed based on your reason for the visit
-
You will be offered an updated list to keep with you
at the end of your visit. It comes in a handy wallet-sized card, if you
prefer.
We keep this record on our computer system. If we order
other medications to treat a condition you may have, the computer has safety
checks so that we avoid ordering anything that might conflict with anything
else you take.
Between visits, please call us or use
Patient Connection to update us if you make any changes to what you are
taking.
If you wish, a wallet-size card of your medication list can be printed for
you to keep with you at all times. We recommend you have one, even if you
are not on many medicines. In an emergency, this is important information
that medical staff needs to know and that you may not remember.
New Patients
Please bring in a list of your medications and your pill bottles with you to
your first visit at PeaceHealth Medical Group. Please include the start
date, medicine name, dose strength, how often you take it, what it is taken
for and who prescribed it.
Remember, MAP Your Medications!
Together we can help you maintain your health!
