Chronic care is essential in a correctional facility but can be one of the biggest challenges, with a never-ending workload, tracking challenges, and ineffective reactive care. Integrating a clinical pharmacist into the chronic care team can streamline the process, improve patient outcomes, and lead to a proactive model of care. This session will review such a program and highlight the benefits of comprehensive medication management with a technology approach.
