The Total Care RX Step by Step Approach To Proper Transplant Care

Step 1

While the patient is in the hospital, the pharmacy receives an initial phone call from the hospital with details of personal information and medications.

Step 2

Total Care RX coordinates insurance benefits with hospital. In the process, we explain that our Transplant Team will monitor new incoming orders and inform the patient of medication changes.

Step 3

Total Care RX delivers the initial package of medications to the hospital.

Step 4

The hospital Transplant Team reviews the medications with patients before discharge.

Step 5

Once the patient is discharged, Total Care RX will follow up a few days later to see how the patient is doing and explain what we will be providing. Total Care RX will also review any bills and payment arrangements with the patient.

Step 6

Total Care RX will contact the patient approximately every three weeks to perform medication management therapy.

Step 7

When patients need refills, Total Care RX will obtain the new prescriptions from the hospital pharmacy coordinator or from the doctor’s office.

Step 8

The medication will be delivered on a date that is convenient for the patient.

Support Helps The Healing Process

Total Care RX believes strongly that support groups help bring people together and provide a common ground for those suffering from similar medical conditions. The sharing of experiences, feelings and coping strategies can become a major part of the healing process.

For our Transplant patients we highly recommend the following support groups.

TRIO (Transplant Recipient International Organization) is committed to improving the quality of life for transplant candidates and offers transplant patients awareness, support, education and advocacy.

The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) provides a state-by-state listing of transplant support groups, many of which are run by transplant patients, for pre- and post-transplant patients and their families.

The American Transplant Foundation provides three tiers of support for living donors; transplant recipients and their families.
