Abstract
Medication management is a complex and expensive multistage process that covers the prescribing and ordering, order communication, dispensing, administering, and monitoring and use of prescription medications. While challenges in medication management are ubiquitous across all settings, they can be particularly exacerbated in a free clinic that serves a medically vulnerable population. These patients suffer from financial constraints, poor health literacy, multiple chronic conditions, and medication non-adherence. Clinical pharmacists play an integral role in the provision of healthcare services to these patients and could benefit from the use of medication management information technology (MMIT) to provide efficiencies in the tracking, provision, and use of medications. While MMITs exist, they are not designed to support the unique needs of pharmacists in these settings.
