Features

TIB Pharmacy prioritizes clinical support for long-term care facilities (LTCs) in delivering high-quality care to their residents. Our comprehensive clinical support services are designed to enhance medication management practices and optimize patient outcomes within LTC settings. Our skilled team of clinical pharmacists collaborates with LTC staff, conducts thorough medication reviews, identifies potential drug interactions or adverse effects, and recommends appropriate interventions.

TIB Pharmacy takes the responsibility of proper medication disposal seriously, especially when it comes to expired medications in Long-Term Care facilities (LTCs). We offer a convenient and secure solution for the collection and disposal of expired medications, ensuring compliance with regulatory guidelines and environmental best practices. By partnering with TIB Pharmacy for the collection of expired medications, LTCs can maintain a safe and clutter-free environment, promoting resident safety and minimizing environmental impact.

TIB specializes in managing formulary design for hospice patients. Our dedicated team of clinical pharmacists collaborates closely with hospices to ensure that each patient receives the appropriate medication; the right dose at the right time. We thoroughly review each patient’s medication record, offer insights on optimizing therapy, monitor drug interactions, and provide guidance on contraindications.

TIB pharmacy does recognize the importance of medication management in hospice care. Upon a patient’s enrollment and at regular intervals throughout their hospice stay, our clinical team conducts comprehensive reviews of medications. This diligent approach allows us to identify any potential issues, such as drug interactions, and make necessary adjustments to optimize patient safety and well-being.

In hospice and long-term care settings, it is common for doctors to prescribe multiple medications to patients. However, different specialists and practitioners often focus on specific issues, sometimes overlooking holistic treatment and other diagnoses. This can result in the prescription of medications that may counteract each other. At TIB pharmacy, trained pharmacists play a crucial role in reviewing all medications and dosages in light of a patient’s medical history and other drugs to enhance effectiveness and prevent harm.

TIB Pharmacy offers competitive and transparent pricing, allowing hospices to allocate their resources primarily to patient care instead of administrative burdens. Here are some key highlights of our cost management approach:

• Online Portal: Through TIB’s online portal, hospices can easily check medication availability and pricing without the need for phone calls.
• Spending Protocols: We collaborate with hospices to establish protocols that promptly notify them if the cost of requested medications exceeds predetermined limits.
• Spending Reports: TIB provides weekly spending reports to customers, ensuring transparency and enabling effective cost management.

We propose less expensive therapy alternatives.

Recognizing the value of transparency for our customers, we have developed a system that enables long-term care facilities to track patients’ medication history, drug spending, and much more. Through reports, we empower customers to make informed decisions and better manage prescription solutions for their patients. Through TIB’s online portal, customers have quick and secure access to patient records and various reports, including:

• Antibiotic Reports
• NDC Reports
• Psychotropic Reports
• Antipsychotic Reports
• Medication Adherence Record (MAR)

The TIB pharmacy team understands the importance of specialized packaging in long-term care and hospice settings. We offer bubble-packed medication cards, pre-filled syringes, and other specialty packaging options upon customer request, with no additional cost. This packaging eliminates human error in medication dispensing, enabling nurses to spend less time organizing medication and more time providing quality care to patients.

Certain types of facilities are obligated by regulations to package drugs with particular details, such as lot numbers and expiration dates. To comply with these requirements, medications are separated and individually packaged in bubble packaging for each drug. Nurses can administer medications, but not dispense drugs, so each medication needs to be clearly labeled and packaged.

We understand that medical emergencies can happen outside of regular business hours. TIB pharmacy is dedicated to serving patient needs 24/7/365. Our pharmacists and staff are available round the clock to respond to emergencies, ensuring that you can rely on TIB at any time of the day or night.
