Medication management

Medication management is important as it involves effectively managing the use of medications to optimize patient outcomes.

Importance of Medication Management:

• Regularly reviewing and evaluating all the medications a patient is taking to ensure appropriateness, effectiveness, and safety.
• Providing patients with information about their medications, including how and when to take them, educating patients about potential side effects, and other drugs or food interactions.
• Make necessary changes to medications based on the patient’s response, new evidence, or guidelines.
• Assess whether patients are following their prescribed medication regimens and identify any barriers to treatment.
• Ensure collaboration with all healthcare providers involved in the patients’ care and are aware of the prescribed medications to prevent duplications or harmful interactions.
