Kickstart Your Meds with the 1st of the Month Cycle Program
The 1st of the Month Cycle Program gives long-term care facilities a smarter way to manage prescription schedules. Park Shore Pharmacon designed this program to simplify medication refills by aligning all maintenance prescriptions to the first of each month. This structure eliminates confusion, improves consistency, and gives staff a clear path for organizing med passes.
When facilities follow a monthly refill cycle, medication delivery becomes predictable. Park Shore Pharmacon sends orders on time, allowing caregivers to stay focused on resident care rather than scrambling for last-minute medications. Scheduled deliveries cut down on emergency pharmacy calls and help teams avoid running out of essential prescriptions.
Each resident receives personalized packaging that matches their administration times, so caregivers don’t have to sort through bulk bottles or hand-label pill packs. With everything arriving together, staff complete med passes faster and with fewer errors.
Facilities also gain the advantage of digital reminders and refill tracking tools, making it easier to stay ahead of any changes in a resident’s treatment plan. This structured cycle boosts staff efficiency, supports medication adherence, and creates a routine residents can depend on. Park Shore Pharmacon provides hands-on training, tailored packaging, and reliable delivery—giving your team the confidence to provide safe, accurate care month after month.
Maximize Efficiency with the 1st of the Month Cycle Program
The 1st of the Month Cycle Program helps long-term care facilities streamline pharmacy operations and improve time management. Park Shore Pharmacon customizes the monthly cycle based on the size and structure of each facility. By coordinating all refills to a single delivery date, the program eliminates scattered shipments, reduces medication waste, and simplifies staff planning.
Facilities using the monthly cycle spend less time making reorder calls and more time delivering resident care. Providers align chart audits with pharmacy deliveries, ensuring accuracy and compliance. The program also helps teams anticipate medication volumes and manage inventory more effectively. Monthly delivery tracking and usage reports support better planning and identify patterns in resident care.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, medication synchronization programs reduce medication errors and improve adherence in chronic care settings. Park Shore Pharmacon enhances this efficiency with ongoing training, real-time reporting, and pharmacy liaisons who help staff stay updated on formulary changes and refill timing. The result is a smoother workflow, better care coordination, and fewer emergency requests throughout the month.
Simplify Refills with the 1st of the Month Cycle Program
The 1st of the Month Cycle Program reduces refill complexity by streamlining the entire process into one coordinated monthly batch. Park Shore Pharmacon helps facilities eliminate scattered refill calls by having staff submit one comprehensive medication list each month. Pharmacists review the full order at once, confirm any changes, and prepare doses using pre-labeled, easy-to-open pouches.
This monthly process prevents duplicate orders, avoids counting errors, and ensures each medication is ready on time. Caregivers receive organized packaging with the resident’s name, administration times, and instructions printed on every pouch. This format helps reduce miscommunication, keeps med passes on schedule, and supports timely administration for every resident.
According to the National Institutes of Health, simplifying medication refill schedules improves adherence and reduces healthcare costs in long-term care settings. Park Shore Pharmacon monitors inventory levels, flags potential stockouts, and updates teams before problems arise. This proactive support allows facilities to stay ahead of refill issues, reduce medication delays, and maintain consistent therapeutic care throughout the month.
Ideal Candidates for the 1st of the Month Cycle Program
The 1st of the Month Cycle Program works well in a wide range of care environments that rely on consistent medication delivery and streamlined workflows. Park Shore Pharmacon tailors this program to meet the needs of both small and large facilities. Whether your team manages a handful of residents or oversees a multi-site operation, the benefits of a unified refill schedule make a significant difference in daily routines. Facilities that support residents with chronic health needs or behavioral conditions often see the greatest improvements in efficiency, safety, and communication. If your care team handles multiple prescribers, specialty medications, or fluctuating resident populations, this program delivers structure and predictability where it matters most. Here are the most common facility types that benefit from the program:
Expert Clinical Support in the 1st of the Month Cycle Program
The 1st of the Month Cycle Program at Park Shore Pharmacon offers more than dependable packaging and on-time delivery—it includes expert clinical oversight that elevates resident care and medication safety. Each month, our clinical pharmacists perform comprehensive medication therapy reviews, evaluating every resident’s prescriptions to identify potential issues such as duplications, interactions, or unsafe combinations.
These reviews ensure medications remain appropriate, accurate, and aligned with residents’ evolving health needs. Our team also communicates directly with prescribers, offering timely recommendations or clarifications to keep treatment plans updated and effective. To keep your staff informed and prepared, we provide ongoing education focused on new medications, side effects, and best practices for administration.
Additionally, we host monthly case review calls with your team to monitor resident progress, address concerns, and assess high-risk therapies. To support continuous improvement, we deliver outcome reports that highlight clinical interventions, adherence rates, and measurable performance gains. With Park Shore Pharmacon’s integrated approach, your care team gains the clinical insight and guidance needed to make confident, informed decisions throughout each cycle.
Personalized Packaging Options in the 1st of the Month Cycle Program
The 1st of the Month Cycle Program includes a variety of packaging options to match the specific needs of your facility. Park Shore Pharmacon customizes medication packaging for accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use. By organizing medications to align with a monthly cycle, staff can focus less on sorting pills and more on providing quality care. Our team works closely with each facility to determine the best packaging format based on staff workflow, resident population, and medication types. With clearly labeled doses and time-specific organization, medication passes become faster and safer. Every format supports compliance, reduces errors, and ensures your team always knows when and how to administer each medication. Below are the most common packaging options we offer:
- Unit-Dose Blister Packs: These packs organize each medication dose by date and time, offering a tamper-evident solution that promotes safe administration and reduces confusion during medication passes.
- Multi-Dose Pouches: All medications required at the same administration time are grouped into a single pouch, making it easy for caregivers to deliver accurate doses quickly with minimal sorting effort.
- Calendar Cards: These cards display an entire month’s medication schedule in a clear layout, helping staff maintain consistency and encouraging adherence by making routines easy to follow for both staff and residents.
- Color-Coded Labels: By assigning specific colors to morning, noon, evening, and bedtime doses, this format helps caregivers identify medications faster and minimizes errors during busy medication administration windows.
- Liquid Unit-Dose Cups: Pre-measured single-use liquid cups eliminate guesswork in dosing and streamline the administration process, especially for residents who have difficulty swallowing pills or require liquid formulations.
Seamless Tech Integration with the 1st of the Month Cycle Program
The 1st of the Month Cycle Program works best when supported by the right technology. Park Shore Pharmacon connects your monthly medication cycles directly to leading electronic health record systems like PointClickCare, QuickMar, and Sigmacare. This integration keeps prescription data accurate and ensures that changes made by prescribers flow directly into pharmacy operations without delay.
Real-time updates reduce the risk of outdated orders, and automated alerts notify staff when a prescription falls outside the cycle window. Staff also use barcode scanning to verify medications at administration, improving accuracy and tracking. Every dose logged in the eMAR system creates a complete audit trail, making compliance and survey prep easier for your team.
Our digital dashboards display refill dates, inventory levels, and usage reports to help you monitor trends and adjust care planning. Park Shore Pharmacon’s IT specialists handle setup, test system performance, and provide ongoing tech support. We also train your team on using these tools to ensure a smooth rollout and sustained success with the monthly cycle model.
