EPISODE TITLE: Strategies for Successful Medication Management: Part 2
OVERVIEW: Occupational Therapy provides the distinct value of being able to look at clients holistically to best collaborate with individuals on THEIR goals and needs, rather than viewing them solely as their diagnosis.
EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of NOGGINS & NEURONS: Brain Injury Recovery Simplified Medication Management: Part II, with Tracy Bentley-Root, Anna Kotansky, and Haleigh Bjorkman, we talked about:
SUMMATION STATEMENT: It is imperative to look at what an individual used to do, and now WANTS to be able to do, before suggesting modifications to their medication management routine. Taking a strength-based approach and providing suggestions that best fit an individual’s needs is key to ensure consistent medication adherence. There are various low-cost devices that can assist an individual in the areas they need it most, whether it be cognitive, physical, visual, or other deficits.
As always, we want to hear your top takeaways!
