Medication Adherence Tools and Tips
Medication adherence is one of the most effective ways to prevent hospitalizations. But when the list of prescriptions grows, so does the risk of error. Here is how to stay ahead:
š Consolidate Your Pharmacy
Use one pharmacy for everything so the pharmacist can easily flag potential drug interactions.
š Request Easy-Open Caps
If arthritis is an issue, ask the pharmacist for non-childproof caps.
šMaintain a Pill Diary
Keep a simple log on the fridge. A quick checkmark after each dose provides instant visual confirmation for both the senior and the caregiver.
