What should be on a PODS - Part 2

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?
