Pharmacy Consulting

As an experienced professional with a wide range of skills, pharmacy consultants are valued members of a facility's interdisciplinary team, helping them to achieve optimal outcomes for their residents - and their bottom line.

Consultanting services begins with an introductory meeting with key staff members. Armed with a thorough understanding of the facility's unique needs, the consultant is able to provide a tailored program that encompasses the educational, regulatory and cost-containment concerns of the facility while assuring appropriate medication therapy for each resident.

Every consultant visit includes one-on-one time with key leadership before and after the consulting session to ensure that critical information is shared and addressed promptly.

Medication Management

The needs of the elderly are complex and unique. As an expert in geriatric medication management, the consultants receive some of the most extensive training in the industry. This training supports the consultant's ability to identify potential overuse, misuse, and underuse of medications and to suggest changes that optimize outcomes. Our consultant's approach to clinical and cost-saving therapeutic interventions is further guided by two proprietary resources, including:
Geriatric Pharmaceutical Care GuidelinesRecognized as a leading formulary and clinical reference manual for long term care, the Guidelines are endorsed by the American Geriatrics Society.


Cost Containment

To help facilities contain costs, consultants identify trends and provide reports on medication utilization and cost savings. For example, on a regular basis a consultant will provide the facility with progress reports on formulary implementation with a tool known as the Formulary Savings Spreadsheet. This report shows formulary-driven cost savings as well as uncaptured cost savings opportunities in the area of formulary compliance, providing a tangible measure of the value.


Regulatory Compliance

Providing assistance with regulatory compliance is a key component of the consulting program, and our consultants work to address specific areas of concern at facilities by:

. Reviewing Quality Indicator/Quality Measure reports
. Identifying medication issues and trends
. Providing survey preparation and support
. Developing and implementing action plans
. Improving the safety and health of residents and enhancing staff capability through comprehensive clinical education programs

Bio-Hazard Waste

Atlantic Healthcare specializes in proper pickup, treatment, and disposal of biohazards, such as “red bag” medical waste and sharps containers. As a provider of medical waste disposal services, protecting people and the environment from the risks associated with biohazards is at the heart of what we do

Why Our Customers Prefer Atlantic Healthcare?

. Our customers tell us they choose us because we provide the assurance of:
. Our proprietary tracking system that monitors the whereabouts of your waste from the moment our qualified driver picks up the waste until it is rendered noninfectious
. Our many years of experience and ability to protect more customers than any other provider
. Our flexible scheduling for disposal service pickups that gives you peace of mind, knowing we'll be there when it counts
. Our liability insurance protection of $1MM, as related to your biohazard waste disposal service


Disposal of regulated medical waste has been part of our business since 1989. The regulations associated with various biohazards and their disposals are intricate, vary by state and local requirements, and are regulated by several federal government agencies including:

. US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
. US Department of Transportation (DOT)
. US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
. US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)



If your facility also disposes of pharmaceuticals or hazardous waste, distinct regulatory requirements apply to these regulated wastes as well. With a diverse range of service offerings, we can expertly accommodate your specialty waste disposal needs, too.

Protect Yourself and Your Employees From the Risks of Infectious Waste

We know that many of our customers don’t have the internal resources to train employees or easily maintain all the legally required recordkeeping. That’s why we offer associated compliance training services that can aid your facility in adhering to biohazard waste regulations. For most organizations, OSHA has strict guidelines intended to protect you and your employees. For example, annual bloodborne pathogens training is legally required for every employee who may come in contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.
