The Formulary Matching table allows the facility to cross-reference medications from the Micromedex® database to their hospital formulary. Up to three formulary medications may be matched to one Micromedex® combination medication.  Name Brand medications may be matched to Generic medications. This table is intended to improve the process of continuing Home Meds during Admission Reconciliation by matching non-formulary Home Meds to what is available within the hospital's formulary.
