The Importance of Managing Medications

Did you know:

1)  Almost 30% of all hospital admissions for people over the age of 65 are directly attributable to medication on non-adherence.
2)  125,000 people die each year from non-adherence, twice the number killed in automobile accidents.
3)  Poor adherence with medication regimens costs society more than $150 billion per year.
4)  Nearly $48 billion in annual costs result from unnecessary medication-induced hospitalization.
5)  Approximately 40% of people entering nursing homes do so because they are unable to self-medicate in their own homes.
