Rx Revue - Vigilance Santé

Effective drug review

Rx Revue is software that allows pharmacists to effectively review patient medication using a computer tool that reflects the reality of their professional practice.

< >

Pharmacists are regularly called on to draw up a complete list of a patient's current medications. Rx Revue was designed to bring structure to the drug review process. The software however, can be used for much more than generating simple lists of medications, it can also provide a quick analysis of a patient's situation, as it pertains to the drugs they are taking.

A SIMPLE FOUR STEP ANALYSIS

The PATIENT tab is where the user will find relevant information on the patient and where information that can influence drug therapy is documented.

This section includes information on:

age
gender
allergies and intolerances
lifestyle habits
immunizations
diseases

See Example.

Vigilance Santé has integrated a box authorizing the pharmacist to disclose, or not, the results of the drug review to the treating physician, contingent upon the patient's consent.

The MEDICATION tab is where the pharmacist can draw up a list of the patient's medications

Since the Vigilance Santé database is integrated to Rx Revue, a drop down list allows the user to select a drug and its strength, using the first few letters of the drug. The pharmacist can then assess the patient's level of knowledge and compliance as well as the effectiveness of each of the drugs in the profile. The pharmacist then evaluates the overall therapy based on the information he has entered. See Example.

The PROBLEM tab is where problems with a patient's therapy are documented

Using sound clinical judgement, the pharmacist is called upon to find solutions and steps to optimize a patient's drug therapy. The pharmacist can also use this section to make follow-up notes on measures that should either be taken by the patient, the prescriber or the pharmacist. See Example.

The REPORT tab generates reports, on demand, for the physician and the patient

The reports provide:

a list of medications
a detailed overview of the problems
action required in response to each problem

These reports are automatically generated based on information compiled in the PATIENT, MEDICATION and PROBLEM tabs. All the pharmacist has to do is sign the report and add comments, if so inclined.
