• Identify gaps in therapy, contraindications, drug interactions, and adherence barriers.
• Make evidence-based recommendations for medication initiation, optimization, and titration, in collaboration with providers and nursing staff.

• Conduct telephonic medication reviews and patient education.
• Educate patients on purpose, benefits, side effects, and expectations of cardiac medications.
• Reinforce adherence and lifestyle considerations; help patients recognize red-flag symptoms.

• Work closely with RN Care Managers and Nurse Navigators to align medication plans with care goals.
• Communicate recommendations clearly to cardiologists and advanced practice providers.
• Participate in interdisciplinary case reviews and care planning.
• Document recommendations and patient interactions promptly in the care management platform / EMR.

• Contribute to performance on medication-related quality measures.
• Help reduce medication-related adverse events and prevent avoidable utilization.
• Apply sound clinical judgment within established clinical protocols.
