What is Medication Management?

Medication management is a systematic approach to optimizing drug therapy that includes medication review, reconciliation, monitoring, and patient education to ensure safe and effective use of medications. This process involves assessing all medications a patient takes, identifying potential drug interactions or duplications, monitoring for side effects, ensuring proper dosing and administration, and educating patients about their medications to improve adherence and outcomes.

Why medication management matters

• Prevents adverse events: Identifies and resolves medication-related problems before they cause harm
• Improves treatment effectiveness: Ensures medications are taken correctly for optimal results
• Reduces healthcare costs: Prevents hospitalizations and complications from medication errors
