Medication Management
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) identified six key focus areas to measure effective patient and family engagement in clinical practice. The intent of this metric is to ensure that all patients and/or their family are being supported to safely manage their medications, and that there is a systematic, standard method in place to evaluate and support patients and their caregivers in medication self-management.
