What Strategies Can Improve Medication Management?
Several strategies can be implemented to improve medication management:
1. Medication Reconciliation: This process involves comparing a patient's medication orders to all of the medications that the patient has been taking to avoid inconsistencies. 2. Patient Education: Educating patients about their medications, including how to take them and potential side effects, can improve adherence. 3. Use of Technology: Electronic health records (EHRs) and medication management software can help track prescriptions and monitor patient adherence. 4. Pharmacist Involvement: Pharmacists can play a critical role in medication management by conducting medication reviews and providing counseling to patients.
