Regional centersClinical pharmacy consulting for regional centers
Your clinical team oversees medication safety across a large caseload and many vendors, usually without a pharmacist on staff. Clarity Med gives medical directors, nurse consultants and service coordinators pharmacist expertise when they need it, without changing anyone's pharmacy.
Pharmacist answers for your nurses and service coordinators.
Regional center clinical teams see the hardest medication cases, often after something has already gone wrong.
Common challenges
- Complex psychotropic regimens across several prescribers
- Medication-related special incidents across vendors
- Hospital discharges that change regimens without clear follow-up
- Questions that queue for limited physician and nursing time
- No aggregate view of medication risk across the caseload

How a partnership is set up
Add pharmacist expertise to your clinical team through a defined project or an agreed allocation of hours. We set referral criteria with you, provide written recommendations, coordinate follow-up and report how the service is used.
Contracting and vendorization requirements are confirmed with your regional center before services begin. See the Regional Center Pharmacist Partner package.
What each referral produces
- A medication list reconciled against the records available
- A prioritized recommendation report
- Plain-language guidance for caregivers
- A record of prescriber responses and follow-up
- An aggregate report your program can review
