The majority of Americans take at least one medication and 20% take five or more medications. But keeping track of your medications, especially when experiencing a temporary hospitalization can be challenging and with more than a million people harmed each year from medication errors, it would be helpful to understand what medication management strategies are under our control. This session explores some of the common causes of medication errors and challenges that most people face. We will also identify practical tips, including how to take back medicines that are expired or no longer needed. Be ready for an interactive, hands-on session, with must-know tips for anyone can use.
