What is medication management?

Medication management involves overseeing the medications prescribed to a patient to ensure that they are taken properly, while achieving their planned, therapeutic outcome. The process entails initial and ongoing medication review to address safety and adherence concerns, reduce drug events, educate patients, and engage patients and caregivers. When implemented effectively, medication management is widely known to effectively improve care and reduce costs

How can NuHope help with medication management?

In medical school physicians are trained to diagnose and prescribe. Deprescribing is not in the curriculum. At NuHope we use scientific-based research and our own successful experience to develop and modify a unique deprescribing plan for each individual patient. Over the course of treatment, we modify the plan to reach the two goals of safe deprescribing and minimal discomfort. Nothing we do will increase pain and most likely will reduce pain and most definitely will reduce or even eliminate any dependence upon opiates for pain relief. We use weekly medical appointments and weekly drug screens to monitor treatment to assure that we are moving at the right pace for both pain management and deprescribing. These same appointments help us minimize discomfort while maximizing results.

Medication management and the appointments required really depend on the individual and their level of pain. Medication management is effective and works, according to doctors and patients alike. Our doctors may suggest a time frame for medication management and our goal is the same as yours: to start enjoying life again. Our appointments will also educate you on pain management and the solutions that are available to help treat pain. At the heart of what we do involves deprescribing and we introduce our patients to the tools and resources on how to reduce medications safely. Reducing medications safely to meet life’s changes is important. Deprescribing in a well planned out process of reducing or stopping medications that may no longer be of benefit or could cause harm – the goal is to reduce the medication burden and damage while improving quality of life.

Medication management is important as it helps reduce pain and over time reduces the medications you are taking to deal with pain. It’s now an important part of healthcare as it helps patients and helps keep people safer.

Medication management is considered safe; however, you should always consult with a doctor on a plan. A doctor may assess your pain and work with you on a plan that will help during the recovery process. The goal is to reduce pain, and over time the medications you are using. Medication management is proven to help patients and help reduce pain, but more importantly the end goal is to reduce or eliminate medications altogether. In some cases, patients may need to follow a longer medication management program, and for others they might need less time. Either way, medication management is a smart solution and will help you enjoy life again.
