Session Description
Medication non-adherence accounts for three times more deaths in the United States than car accidents every year. This session will focus on how to manage medication at different levels of care. We will address the signs to look for to help recognize when medication management has become a difficult task for an individual. From there we will highlight assistive technology solutions geared towards helping people get on track with their medications while maintaining independence and their safety. Medication mismanagement is a common problem, but it doesn’t have to be. After this session we hope attendees will walk away feeling confident in solutions that can help the people they support manage their medications. This session is ideal for case managers, care coordinators, nurses, and other health care professionals. It is also of interest to people helping loved ones, friends, or themselves manage medications.
