AARP Eye Center
AARP and MCPHS University are working together to publish and promote tips and tools on medication management.
The free tips will cover such things as how to use a personal medication record and how to keep pharmacists fully informed about prescription and over-the-counter drugs being used so they can warn against potential harmful interactions.
Medication errors account for 25 percent of nursing home admissions nationwide. Nearly one-fifth of Medicare patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge, often because of medication errors or noncompliance.
