Organize and Maintain Medications (A Caregiver's Guide to
Keeping Good Records and your Sanity)
As a caregiver, I learned that by using this system of recording and managing
medication records, an individual can:
1. Reduce waste of medications
(e.g. too many meds on hand)
2. Reduce abuse of medications (e.g. taking meds
that are old, the wrong dose or
the wrong type.)
3. Become more educated
in dispensing medications.
(e.g. correct out-dated or incorrect information
on medication labels.)
4. Take ownership by having more intelligent
interaction with health care providers.
