“The majority of the transplant patients find the MedActionPlan schedule very useful when they have questions about medications. Post-op transplant patient’s medication dosages may change twice weekly, and sometimes this becomes overwhelming for them to keep up with. We teach the patients how to use MedActionPlan and MyMedSchedule.com effectively. If the patient does not have computer access, they may grant family members permission to log on to their medication lists to view and print changes. Patients are also provided a hard print copy in their education binders.”
How we continue to help and teach our patients:
“We are encouraged to provide our patients with teaching and disease information within our specialty of heart failure and lung disease. Using approved medical websites, like MedActionPlan, we recommend that our patients come in for follow-up counseling and educational courses. MedActionPlan is used for this medication teaching and has shown to result in improved medication compliance.”
