Medication review
In different countries, different terms are used for medication reviews or reconciliations. In New Zealand, a medication reconciliation is usually a formal process by a health professional such as a pharmacist with special training to do this.
A simple medication review can be conducted by a health coach to help understand how a person is actually taking their medicines. This information can then be passed onto the prescriber or a pharmacist to provide more specific advice to the patient.
