Medication Management

People take medications to improve their quality of life. However, when taking multiple medications or when you are not feeling well, it might be difficult remembering to take the right medications at the right time. The quality of life does not improve if the medications are not properly taken, in most cases, it declines.

Medication management comes in at this point, assisting in getting the right medication to the right people, and ensuring they take the prescriptions at the right time. But medication management involves a whole lot more…

Why is medication management Necessary?

Research shows that non-adherence to the proper medication administration drastically impacts overall healthcare costs as follows:
• An estimated average of 50% of patients in the U.S. do not take their medications correctly. Of these, approximately 33% never fill their first prescription at all.
• Approximately 700,000 people experience adverse drug reactions that prompt admission into hospital emergency departments.
• The estimated annual cost of patients who fail to correctly take their medications is a whopping $290 billion
