iAID Medication Management Program
iAID's Medication Management Program provides guidance on proper medication management for the elderly. Understanding the medication, having complete medical records, monitoring when clients/patients take their medication and carefully following instructions are all important components of the iAID healthy medication management program.
Misuse of any type of medication, especially those prescribed for treatment of chronic diseases can be dangerous and may ultimately lead to death. Improper medication management is most commonly evident among seniors and especially Alzheimer's / Dementia patients. Due to the unfortunate psychological alterations such conditions may cause, individuals tend to overdose, skip doses, take the wrong medications and at times may even forget to their pills.
We actually take the time to set up a system for our clients which would include:
- Reviewing the medication list with our client and family members
- Reviewing proper medicine scheduling
- Reviewing proper consumption of medicines
- Monitoring medication usage
- Setting up medications in the calendar
- Picking up prescriptions to ensure needed availability
- Assisting in scheduling medical appointments
Each patient's medication program will include a customized care plan that will include the following services:
- Medication Reminders
- Compliance Reporting
- Assistance with Medication Refills/Pill Boxes
- Medication/Dosage Education
- Reporting of any Side Effects/Reactions of certain medications
- Daily Log of medication intake and time
