Expert Consultant
Pharmacists
Omnicare consultant pharmacists are a highly skilled team focused on resident safety, medication-related clinical recommendations and regulatory changes. With services that combine clinical expertise with our proprietary, clinical decision-support software (OSC2OR), our dedicated consultants collaborate with each of our partners to serve as a consistent and trustworthy clinical expert to improve medication safety, regulatory compliance, cost savings and, most importantly, resident care.
A Direct Line to Support
Our consultant pharmacists maintain a strong rapport with our partnering facilities, ensuring their availability for any questions or needs that may arise.

Admission Medication Regimen Review
Omnicare consultant pharmacists process admission medication regimen reviews (aMRR) as close to admission as possible, as well as reviewing their entire available medical record for any potential issues and insights. By identifying and communicating any drug-related, clinically significant issues, the aMRR optimizes the quality, safety, regulatory and overall cost of each resident’s medication regimen.
Medication Management
Consultant pharmacists play a pivotal role in optimizing resident care and medication management. By closely collaborating with the interdisciplinary team, Omnicare pharmacists conduct extensive medication reviews and report on drug utilization, cost management and staff education opportunities.
Fall Awareness Program
Our fall awareness program is designed to assess fall risks before they happen while also offering solutions for intervention. Omnicare consultant pharmacists utilize the CDC STEADI Checklist of Falling Assessment to identify moderate to high fall risk residents and perform subsequent fall risk reviews. Part of our risk assessment includes reviewing resident medications for newly admitted residents, existing residents and on-demand medication reviews post-fall as requested.
Antibiotic Stewardship and Antipsychotic Use Support
Our highly skilled clinicians work with our proprietary software, OSC2OR, to adeptly identify overuse, misuse and underuse of antibiotics and antipsychotics for increased safety and improved resident outcomes.
By recognizing high-risk factors ahead of time – including recent hospital visits and chronic medical conditions – our consultant pharmacists closely monitor antibiotic use and provide proactive measures to avoid drug-resistant infections and other potential adverse medication effects. With these measures in place, residents are better protected from harm and antibiotic resistance over time, and your facility is protected from regulatory compliance fines.
Our antipsychotic stewardship program is an extensive program designed to quickly recognize any risk factors related to the use of antipsychotic medications. Our consultant pharmacists are trained to recognize risk factors such as cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological adverse effects. We then will provide comprehensive recommendations to help keep residents safe and healthy.
