Medication Management

An adverse drug event (ADE) is an injury caused by a medication error during medical treatment. ADEs happen in over 5 million healthcare visits yearly and can occur in any setting.

Symptoms of an ADE may include:

• Confusion
• Loss of appetite
• Itching
• Breathing difficulty
• Low blood pressure

ADEs can happen if a provider is unaware of your current medications and provides treatment that interacts poorly. Medication management helps prevent ADEs.

Medication management involves keeping detailed records of your meds and regimen. This lets you and your doctor track your medications, doses, and condition changes.

Your doctor provides a complete medication list that informs other providers of your regimen. This avoids issues like drug interactions that can cause an ADE.

Medication management also ensures your meds are appropriate and safe for your conditions.

Bring all your meds, including OTC and supplements, during a medication review. We will document your regimen, including med names, doses, and frequency. This provides you with an up-to-date list to share at future appointments.
