Medication Management refers to the systematic approach to overseeing and optimizing a patient’s use of medications to ensure safe and effective treatment outcomes. It involves several key components, including the evaluation of prescribed medications, monitoring for efficacy and side effects, facilitating proper adherence, and coordinating care among healthcare providers. Medication management aims to enhance the therapeutic effects of medications while minimizing potential risks, ensuring that patients receive the right medications at the right doses for their specific health conditions. This practice is essential in managing chronic diseases, polypharmacy (use of multiple medications), and transitioning between different care settings. Overall, medication management plays a crucial role in improving patient safety and health outcomes through careful oversight of pharmacological therapies.
