What is Patient Medication Record (PMR)?
PMR is an electronic record system that records all the medications you are taking. PMR helps us better manage your medications, improve compliance and thus, improve your health. PMR also allows you to keep a record of your health data and retrieve it anytime you need.
The service is voluntary. If you have a long-term condition, we encourage you to register for it.
It is available at all CARiNG stores.

Pharmacist can identify non-adherence, prompts the pharmacist to clinically review prescriptions, identify patients for additional services, and identify those patients at greater risk of adverse drug events
Allows storage and retrieval medical records using CARiNG Apps. It also allows you to monitor health records and medications of your loved ones (for example, your parents)
Enhance the quality of provided services and patient care
Enable the pharmacist to identify interactions when new medications are prescribed, check the appropriateness of over-the-counter medication requests, and are used to facilitate the temporary supply of medications
Routinely recording allergies and patient’s medical conditions would enable the appropriateness of patients for certain services to be quickly determined and would remove the need for guessing the patient’s conditions based on their medications

When you have registered for the service, your pharmacist will look at how you use your
medicines and any problems you may have with them.
