Resources for Medication Management and Adherence

Antidepressant Medication Management 

Clinical depression is a common condition that may significantly affect your patients’ lives. Depression can cause many complex challenges and barriers to overcome. Antidepressant medication is often a key component of the therapeutic treatment plan and medication adherence remains a significant challenge.

We offer resources to assist you in managing our members with a diagnosis of major depression including our Antidepressant Medication Management Resource Guide and Depression Management Patient Tip Sheet.

Medication Reconciliation Post-Discharge

Medication reconciliation—the process of comparing a patient’s medication orders to all the medications the patient has been taking—is critical to the health of your patients and can help prevent medication errors such as omissions, duplications, dosing errors, and drug interactions.

Polypharmacy: Use of Multiple Anticholinergic (ACH) Medications in Older Adults

In 2023, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) released an update to the Beers Criteria with a comprehensive list of medications that should potentially be avoided or used with caution in older adults. PQA (Pharmacy Quality Assurance) recently updated the Poly-ACH measure to align with these updates for patients ≥65 years old taking 2 or more anticholinergic medications with 30 or more days of use. In this population, patients may experience Anticholinergic medication side effects due to reduction in drug clearance associated in older patients. For more information, please download our Poly-ACH Tip Sheet.
