People with complex health and social needs frequently have complicated drug regimens, often taking 10 or more medications daily, with hard-to-understand dosage instructions, prescribed by numerous providers. Too often these individuals are overwhelmed by their medication routine and face significant challenges around medication adherence, risk of medication errors, and avoidable complications caused by drug interactions or adverse drug events (ADEs).

Jim Slater, PharmD, executive director of Pharmacy Services at CareOregon, labels this concept Medication Trauma and is championing solutions to address the issue. During this webinar Dr. Slater explored innovative opportunities to: (1) identify people at risk for medication trauma; (3) support comprehensive medication management; and (3) implement medication regimen simplification solutions.

The webinar is a product of the Community Management of Medication Complexity Innovation Lab, a national initiative made possible by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation that is working to refine and spread promising community-based medication management strategies to improve outcomes for people with complex needs.
