Patient/Practice Data & Reporting

Ameritox Rx Guardian Results Report

The detailed, yet easy-to-interpret Rx Guardian results report offers an unsurpassed level of reporting. It reveals more than whether your patient is taking a prescribed medication, unprescribed medications or illicits. It also indicates the amount of prescribed pain medication or metabolite present in the patient’s sample.

In addition, for some of the most common prescribed medications, the Rx Guardian results report informs you as to whether or not a normalized value falls within an expected range. Using the Ameritox Virtual Toxicologist^SM (V-Tox) technology, the report also features explanations of each finding that is inconsistent with your patient’s prescribed regimen. If you have questions on any result, Ameritox Toxicology Specialists^SM are available for consultation and interpretation. This combination of information makes it the only report that can help you determine if your patient is taking his or her medication in a manner that is consistent with the prescribed regimen.

Beyond helping you identify potential medication misuse, abuse or diversion, this personalized information also opens the door for important discussions with your patients. These conversations can reveal why your patient is not taking his or her medication as prescribed so you can make any necessary adjustments to treatment. The result is a better dialogue with your patient, a treatment plan more well-suited to his or her needs and the best possible chronic pain outcomes.

Customizable Patient and Practice Reports

Different practices require different information to maximize the value of pain medication monitoring. You can customize reports to help identify both patient and practice trends. For example, you can:

• Review complete toxicology reports for all patients tested within a given time period for a detailed look at your practice.
• Generate a list of patients with illicits or unexpected results detected during a given time period.
• Find out which patients have not submitted specimens for a specified number of months to ensure all patients are being monitored regularly.

Rx Guardian AutoReminder Reports

While physicians and patients have the best intentions, a national study shows that up to 75% of chronic pain patients may not be taking their medications in a manner that is consistent with their prescribed regimen ¹. Despite the prevalence of medication misuse and abuse, clearly it’s difficult to tell which patients are not taking their medication as prescribed. Rx Guardian AutoReminder is an independent, randomized service that automatically selects patients for monitoring based on the parameters you set. It eliminates the guesswork and any potential bias from pain medication monitoring. By establishing monitoring as an ongoing and objective process, it also helps your patients feel more at ease with pain medication monitoring.

In addition, Rx Guardian AutoReminder saves your practice time and effort. Your practice will receive a list of patients to be monitored each month. All your staff needs to do is match the selected names to their patient appointment schedule for consistent, regular monitoring.

Ameritox Practice Profiles

Ameritox Practice Profiles are a valuable tool for maintaining the highest standards of patient and practice safety. These informative reports summarize urine drug test results over a period of time within your practice and benchmark practice results against national Ameritox averages. The comparison allows you to identify areas of focus or improvement, patient population trends or practice management needs. Ameritox Account Managers and Toxicology Specialists are also available to meet with you to review and discuss your Practice Profile.
