Joint Commission Medication Tips |
Area hospitals collaborated in 2006 to create a form that will help patients keep more accurate track of their medication usage, information that is critical to health providers in the event of a hospitalization or an emergency.
The small card is designed to fit into an individual’s purse or wallet and provides patients with an easy, simple place to record the names of prescribed medications, dosages, the reason the medications are prescribed, and how often they are to be taken. The card also includes a place to record over-the-counter medications, herbs, vitamins, and other dietary supplements that patients are using on a regular basis.
Cards are available by clicking the link above and through the following hospitals. If the hospital receptionist cannot assist you, ask to be directed to the hospital public relations department.
