What does CHRIS do?

  • Chairs and coordinates Virtual MACs (VMACs).
  • Case conferencing with the consumer and health team.
  • ‘Live’ counselling, advice and support for the consumer.
  • Nurse and care staff education and support.
  • Fingertip access to health resources and quality data.
  • GP/nurse clinical round participation.
  • Facilitate quarterly chemical restraint reviews.
  • Medication review services during lockdowns.

Why is CHRIS so important?

Medication Management is the leading cause of consumer complaints, ‘unmets’ and sanctions.

Evidence on quality outcomes supports ‘embedding’ pharmacists in aged care.

In the COVID-19 era, CHRIS ensures the continuity of clinical pharmacist input to the health team.

Research supports optimising MACs via the use of an independent chair i.e. QUM Pharmacist.
