Medication non-compliance and medication errors play a big part in the decline of the older adults’ health conditions, leading to unnecessary hospital admissions. Research has shown that approximately 20% of patients face an adverse medication effect within three weeks of being discharged and that an average of $412 could be saved for every patient who had a clear understanding of their discharge instructions, including medications. Some of the physical and cognitive limitations of our older adult population make them vulnerable to the effects of medication errors. During this session, you will learn how you can work together with patients and their caregivers to successfully decrease hospital readmissions by as much as 25% in the first 90 days post-discharge and by 24% in the first 180 days.
