Could you share a story or example of how your consulting services have positively impacted a pharmacy?

We helped a facility where high-risk medications were in use, but documentation was inconsistent and posed potential survey risk.
Our team reviewed medication use, aligned documentation with CMS expectations, and completed follow-up, reducing risk and improving leadership confidence ahead of surveys.

What are the biggest concerns or hesitations people have before choosing a pharmacy consulting partner?

Common concerns include:

  • Will this actually reduce survey risk, or just generate more paperwork?
  • Will this add work or slow down our nursing staff?
  • Is this consultant aligned with CMS expectations, or just giving generic advice?
  • Will recommendations be practical for our residents and workflows?
  • How involved will the consultant really be after the initial review?
  • Will this create tension with our medical director or prescribers?
  • Is the consultant independent, or tied to a pharmacy with other priorities?
  • How clearly will findings and recommendations be documented?
  • Can this consultant respond when issues come up, or only on a set schedule?
  • Is the cost justified by real operational and compliance value?

What makes your consulting services different from other pharmacy consulting firms?

Our services are led by a pharmacist with former CMS surveyor experience, which means you focus on the medication issues that most often lead to deficiencies and enforcement actions. Instead of generic, checklist-driven reviews, you provide targeted, practical recommendations that align with CMS expectations and fit into real facility workflows. You stay involved through follow-up and communication, helping ensure issues are resolved and documented, rather than delivering a report and moving on. Facilities work with you because you act as a true clinical partner, reducing medication-related risk and supporting survey readiness in a way traditional consulting firms often don’t.
