My Medication Manager - "Getting the right medications at the right
times each day." http://MyMedicationManager.com Free, Public Domain

By Rev. Bill McGinnis, Director - LoveAllPeople.org

This web page is intended for in-home medical patients and their
caregivers. It provides a simple, reliable way to make sure that the
right medications are taken at the right times each day. Medication
mistakes are a serious problem for many patients, because it is very
easy to get all mixed up on which medications to take, and when. We
hope this web page helps to solve this problem.

This page has three parts:

1. The Blank Form, which you can modify to schedule your own
medications for each day. You can either use your computer to modify
the Blank Form's text, or you can make copies of the Blank Form, then
write in your own information, then make copies of your filled-out
form, one copy for each day.

2. An actual filled-out form, which gives you a good example of how you
can modify the Blank Form to schedule your own medications.

3. Links to three different Drug Interaction Websites, which will tell
you if the medications on your list are safe to take together;

1. The Blank Form
You can download the Blank Form here =>
http://www.patriot.net/users/bmcgin/medicationmanager.txt or you can
copy the text below. Change it however you like, to make it work best
for you. (See example in part 2, below.)

2. A Filled-Out Form, To Use As An Example

After you take each medication, you can place a check-mark beside it,
to show that you have already taken it. If you take any other
medication(s), you can write it in. This gives you an accurate record
of all the medications you have taken each day. And if you see a new
doctor or go to the hospital, they will want to know what medications
you are taking; and you can give them your Medication Manager Form.

CARETAKERS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS:

Please don't dismiss this form just because it is simple. The fact is:
faulty administration of medications is one of the most important
preventable causes of needless health problems in senior citizens.
Frequently, they have multiple meds and impaired abilty to deal with
them: maybe they can't see very well, or they get confused, or they
lose things, or they simply get frustrated and quit trying to keep
their meds organized very well. The result is that they miss certain
meds, and take others at the wrong time, randomly.

And some of the very people who are most endangered are those for whom
simplicity is an absolute requirement!

For such people, this simple form may be exactly what they need. A
helpful relative or other caregiver can fill out the form correctly and
make copies for each day of the month. Then, all the patient needs to
do is find the page for today and, step-by-step, work through the day's
medication schedule, making a check mark beside each medication as it
is taken.

Sure, anybody who thinks about it for two minutes could make a form
just like this. So these people can make their own, if they like.
Everybody else can use this form, changing it however they want to
change it. (That's why it's Public Domain: you can do anything you want
with it.)

Blessings to you!
