Who we serve
You have thousands of options for long-term care pharmacies. But what makes United Specialty Pharmacy stand out is
what we provide beyond prescriptions. We deliver care and expertise to thousands of patients.
We are a leading provider of pharmacy services, assisting our partners in long-term care, senior living, behavioral
health, home infusion, specialty pharmacy, and hospital management programs.
Medication management is a strategy for engaging with patients and caregivers to create a complete and accurate medication list. A complete and accurate medication list is the foundation for addressing medication reconciliation and medication management issues.
We provide initial and ongoing medication review to address all your safety and adherence concerns. We also have an ongoing program to reduce adverse drug events, educate your patients, and engage patients, as well as their family members and caregivers.
There are strict regulatory guidelines regarding medication use so pharmacist consultation is critical. One of the most important services we provide is making sure nursing facilities are following established guidelines to avoid patient harm and financial penalties for the long-term care facility. Long-term care facilities are inspected by state agencies (ten specific departments may vary from state to state) on an annual basis or more often if a complaint or patient injury needs to be investigated. The department uses direction and follows rules for proper medication use in long-term care facilities. These are guidelines that we are very familiar with in order to monitor the facility properly.
United Specialty Pharmacy offers specialized medication packaging for their residents to:
This packaging also means there’s no need for multiple prescription bottles from various pharmacies. Single-dose blister cards give you a visual reference so you know exactly how many medications you have left. Each blister contains one medication. We can also provide multi-dose blister cards, organized by time-of-day and day-of-week. This gives you a visual indication of what to take and when. The easy-to-follow system helps you avoid missing or doubling up on doses.
Studies have shown that pharmacists provide a very convenient and accessible option for seasonal flu vaccination, and that option is viewed favorably by patients. We can help you set up and administer the flu and other vaccines to improve public health by increasing vaccination rates, especially among high-risk patients, first-time or occasional vaccine recipients, and patients who may not otherwise have an opportunity to be vaccinated.
United Specialty Pharmacy understands the operational and turnaround time challenges of long-term care facilities. We have built our business to specifically support you and meet those needs. With 24/7/365 operations and delivery guarantees throughout Michigan, you can count on United Specialty Pharmacy to be there whenever you need us.
