Affirmation's In-Home Medication Management: A Practical Approach to Health and Safety
Managing multiple medications at home can be a challenge for seniors. Affirmation acknowledges the potential risks associated with prescription complexities, urging a proactive stance to mitigate adverse drug events and hospitalizations. That's why we've built our in-home Medication Management Program. Here are some critical issues and how this program can help address them:
Dangerous Drug Interactions
Seniors often face challenges in communicating their complete medication history to healthcare professionals. This communication gap can result in prescriptions that may have adverse interactions. Affirmation's medication management services, led by a Registered Nurse, ensure a comprehensive understanding of the patient's medication history, minimizing the risk of harmful drug interactions.
Frailty and Fall Risks
Prescribing multiple medications can unintentionally increase the risk of serious injuries resulting from falls, especially in seniors. Affirmation's In-Home Medication Management addresses medication regimens to mitigate the risks associated with frailty and falls.
Early Termination of Treatment
Seniors may decide to terminate their treatment plans prematurely due to various reasons. Forgetfulness in refilling prescriptions, taking incorrect doses, or disregarding medical advice are common challenges. Affirmation's in-home healthcare professionals play a crucial role in educating and emphasizing the importance of adhering to prescribed medication plans.
Who Would Benefit from In-Home Medication Management
Patients with a complex medication regimen or polypharmacy
Patients with mild cognitive impairment or deficits
Caregivers who are the primary support for others
Anyone who spends time sorting medications
