Introduction
At CityMed Pharmacy, our mission is to provide comprehensive and personalized patient care. A key component of this mission is our Home Monitoring Program, designed to ensure that patients adhere to their medication regimens and receive continuous healthcare support within the comfort of their own homes.
The Importance of Medication Adherence
Medication adherence is a crucial factor in achieving positive health outcomes. Studies show that 50% of patients with chronic conditions do not take their medications as prescribed. This non-adherence can lead to severe health complications, increased hospitalizations, and higher healthcare costs. The Home Monitoring Program at CityMed Pharmacy addresses these challenges through structured medication management and patient education.
What is CityMed Pharmacy’s Home Monitoring Program?
CityMed Pharmacy’s Home Monitoring Program is a comprehensive patient support initiative aimed at helping individuals manage their medications effectively. It provides a combination of home visits, medication management, and continuous health monitoring to prevent complications and hospital readmissions.
Key Features of the Home Monitoring Program
1. Enhanced Adherence
The program ensures patients take their medications on time, reducing the chances of missed doses and adverse health events.
2. Close Monitoring
Regular home visits by Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) help track patients’ progress and address potential health concerns before they become serious.
3. Personalized Care
Each patient receives a tailored care plan based on their unique health conditions and medication needs.
4. Reduced Hospitalizations
By maintaining consistent medication adherence, we reduce the likelihood of emergency room visits and hospital admissions.
5. Simplified Medication Regimens
For patients with complex medication schedules, the program offers easy-to-follow regimens and blister packaging to prevent errors.
6. Education and Training
Patients receive ongoing education on medication use, side effects, and the proper handling of medical devices.
