Managing Medication
|
Safe, effective management of a chronic illness means
managing multiple medications.
|
It is important to know what medicines you are taking
and why you take them. Over-the-counter medicines, including vitamins and herbal
supplements, can interact with medications prescribed by your physician.
COMPASS provides you with the tools
and information needed to manage your medicines and effectively communicate current
medication lists to your healthcare providers.
The
COMPASS program can arrange for a Clinical Pharmacist from the Novant Safe
Med Program to assist in understanding your medicines, why and how to take
them and communicates related issues directly to your physician
for follow up. The Novant Safe Med Program helps locate pharmacy assistance
programs to help secure the medications prescribed.
