According to the World Health Organization, only about 50% of U.S. medical patients take their medication as prescribed. And studies show that anywhere from 20% to 80% of patients in developed countries do not follow their prescriptions or take their medications at all. Patient-Focused Medication Management looks at the medication management process—with a focus on the patient—and emphasizes why involving patients and their families in medication management efforts is so important in all health care settings. This book gives health care providers information they need to engage patients in their care and ensure that their patients safely and completely adhere to their medication regimes.
Features include the following:
- Proven strategies illustrating the need for patient-focused medication management and how organizations can achieve it
- Practical tips on how to teach patients about their medications and build rapport with them through improved communication
- Suggestions for assessing and increasing a patient's medication regimen adherence
- Case studies and examples from organizations with successful patient-minded medication management programs
