AHRQ and NCPIE Partner to Provide Patients Medication Adherence Resources

Topics: Patient safety

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE) have partnered to provide a new patient resource, “Your Medicine: Be Smart. Be Safe,” that promotes medication safety and adherence. The site provides links to safety and adherence tools that can be printed, completed, and carried by patients, including blank wallet cards, and forms for listing doctors and pharmacists, questions about prescribed medications, and notes. Additional information and instructions on safely administering medications are also provided.
