Accessing Our Services

Anticoagulation, heart failure, and insulin therapy management services all require a referral by a physician. We do not require a referral for immunization services. Patients can be enrolled into the Transitional Care Medication Assessment Program (TCMAP) during hospital discharge by a physician, nurse, or other health care provider. Patients can also self-enroll for TCMAP by completing the enrollment form and calling the clinic for an appointment.

Medication Therapy Management Services

Anticoagulation Therapy Management

• We educate patients about blood-thinning medications such as warfarin (Coumadin®),enoxaparin (Lovenox®), dabigatran (Pradaxa®), rivaroxaban (Xarelto®), apixaban (Eliquis®) and edoxaban (Savaysa®).
• The use of point-of-care blood testing devices requires only a finger-stick for instantaneous PT/INR results for those on warfarin therapy.
• Convenient in-office appointments allow for warfarin dose adjustment by experienced pharmacists who monitor side effects, screen for drug (prescription, non-prescription, herbal) and food interactions, and assist with peri-operative anticoagulation management.

Heart Failure Therapy Management

• We provide comprehensive education about heart failure including disease process, symptoms, causes of heart failure exacerbations, and medications used to treat the condition.
• We monitor each patient’s weight, blood pressure, and symptoms at every visit, and evaluate medications for side effects and tolerability.
• Heart failure medications are adjusted according to guideline-recommended target doses.
• Our clinic staff works closely with the patient’s physician to help manage a patient’s heart failure condition. We try to prevent worsening of a patient’s condition and additional hospital admissions.

Insulin Therapy Optimization

• We educate patients about insulin therapy and other diabetes medications.
• Insulin dose adjustments are made according to a patient’s self-monitoring glucose levels and side effects are monitored.
• Frequent interactions with the pharmacist help improve medication adherence and prevent diabetes-related complications.

Immunizations

• We offer vaccinations for adult patients, no physician referral required. Call for an appointment (626) 397-5559.
• Our vaccinations include influenza, Prevnar 13, Pneumovax, and herpes zoster (HZ shingles).

Transitional Care Medication Assessment Program (TCMAP)

• We provide education and comprehensive review of each patient’s medications within one week of hospital discharge.
• Our pharmacists work with patients and physicians to resolve any medication discrepancies, address drug-related concerns and help find cost-effective solutions to drug therapy regimens.
• The clinic staff can help improve medication adherence for chronic medical conditions and assist in ensuring patients follow-up with their physicians after hospital discharge.
• The program hopes to provide continuity of care from hospital discharge to the outpatient setting in order to prevent hospital readmissions and ER visits due to drug-related problems.
