Here is a look at how we can include medication information on a PODS.
- Most of the groups at our event agreed that the medications should be presented in some sort of chart with potentially any or all of the following details
o
name of medication
o
picture of time of day to take the medication
o
picture of what the medication looks like
o
picture of dose (e.g., number of pills to take)
o
with check box of am, pm, hs
o
picture of whether the medication should be taken with or without food
o
side effects
o a reason why to take each medication
o
contraindications and drug interactions
-
Here are some other things to think about:
- Should the medications be colour coded?
- - Should we include a sticker sheet to match the chart to the actual medication bottles?
- - Should we include other follow up activities with the medications in a daily chart of time, med/activity, dose/amount?
