Medication Management

AARP has released a fact sheet that explores the topic of medication management for older adults, highlighting the challenges they face and the available programs and interventions. This resource emphasizes the importance of effective medication management in preventing adverse events and improving health outcomes for older adults. The fact sheet explores formal medication management programs, such as Medication Therapy Management (MTM) in Medicare and Medicaid, while emphasizing the essential skills required for older adults to effectively manage their medication.

The Center for Health Care Strategies released a new report on promising community-based medication management strategies. Many Americans have complicated drug regimens which can be difficult to manage and may result in unintended medication errors. This paper is based off of literature reviews and interviews and discusses opportunities for enhanced community management of medication complexity.
