Annual prescription renewal refers to the process of renewing all of a patient’s long-term medications once per year, for a duration of 12 to 15 months. Synchronized prescription renewal refers to the process of renewing all of a patient’s long-term medications on the same date, resulting in fewer trips to the pharmacy, reduced risk of duplicate medications, and a lower likelihood of running out of medications. Ideally, both these processes occur, resulting in annual synchronized prescription renewal, which saves significant time for physicians and costs for practices. Importantly, the frequency of patients’ routine follow-up visits (eg, every 3 or 6 months) does not change when implementing annual synchronized prescription renewals.
