In today’s ever-evolving landscape of post-acute care, providing exceptional resident outcomes and maintaining compliance with rigorous clinical standards are top priorities for post-acute care nurses. At Synchrony Pharmacy, we understand the critical role that medication management and clinical partnership play in achieving these goals. As a trusted pharmacy provider, we offer unparalleled clinical services designed to align with the needs and priorities of skilled nursing communities, helping them navigate the complexities of care while delivering measurable improvements in resident health and quality of life.
Proactive Medication Optimization and Clinical Partnership
The foundation of our clinical excellence lies in a proactive approach to medication optimization. Our Pharmacy Consultants collaborate closely with healthcare professionals (HCPs) to optimize medications, focusing on critical areas such as fall prevention and psychotropic management. By addressing these high-priority issues, we help communities significantly reduce medication errors during care transitions—a frequent source of complications for residents.
For instance, our team ensures that new admissions and fall chart reviews are completed, on average, in less than 1.2 business days. This efficient process provides timely and actionable insights, enabling clinical teams to make informed decisions and enhance the continuity of care. By reducing the potential for medication errors, our approach fosters safer care transitions and empowers healthcare professionals to deliver better outcomes.
Collaborative Alignment on Goals and Outcomes
Synchrony Pharmacy takes pride in being more than just a service provider—we are a true partner in achieving your community’s goals. As an operator-owned pharmacy, we have the flexibility to adapt our strategies to align with your unique priorities. We work hand-in-hand with skilled nursing communities to optimize I-SNP (institutional special needs plans) and VBC (value-based care) metrics, sharing actionable data and analytics that facilitate better decision-making.
Our ability to use data to drive measurable improvements in value-based care metrics ensures that your community can demonstrate its commitment to high-quality care. This collaborative alignment strengthens trust, builds a shared sense of purpose, and allows post-acute care teams to focus on what they do best: providing exceptional care for their residents.
Comprehensive Staff Support and Education
Education is a cornerstone of Synchrony Pharmacy’s approach to clinical excellence. We recognize that well-trained staff are critical to delivering high-quality care, which is why we offer comprehensive educational programs tailored to meet the needs of your team. Our Nurse Consultants provide training in areas such as:
- Safe medication practices
- Infection control protocols
- Annual medication technician (med tech) recertifications
These training sessions are designed to enhance staff confidence and competence, ensuring that your team is well-equipped to navigate the complexities of resident care. In addition, our Pharmacy Consultants provide ongoing operational support, compliance guidance, and patient safety strategies, creating a robust framework that supports both clinical staff and administrative teams.
For example, our proactive approach to staff education has been shown to reduce errors, improve workflow efficiency, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. By empowering your team with the tools and knowledge they need, we enable communities to consistently meet and exceed regulatory standards while enhancing the quality of care provided to residents.
