Incomplete medication Lists

Incomplete Medication Lists Are Just the Beginning of the Problem

If the doctor is working with an inaccurate medication list it is possible the therapeutic decision could be based on faulty information. This simply cannot help improve patient outcomes.

In addition to the challenges of keeping a chart up to date, the fact is that patient self-reported data is rarely 100% accurate. It takes time and expertise to discover the true list of all the substances a patient is or is not taking.

And the simple reality is that they tell their pharmacist things that they won’t tell their doctor.

Patients are often embarrassed to tell their doctor they are not taking their medication as prescribed.

The reality is they can't afford some medications
They stop taking critical medications because they don't like the way it makes them feel
They stop taking medications if it interferes with the sex life.
And they take multiple powerful over the counter medications that they don't consider drugs, so they don't think to tell their doctor about them.

Quality care begins with identifying the medications, supplements, OTC’s and recreational drugs they actually take, and obtaining an accurate estimate of their actual adherence to the regimen.
