Agencies don't have to go it alone when trying to manage and monitor patients' drug regimens. The following organizations and resources could make the task a bit less overwhelming:

Care Transitions -- www.caretransitions.org

CHAMP -- www.champ-program.org

Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing -- http://consultgerirn.org

HomeMeds -- www.homemeds.org

Institute for Safe Medication Practices -- www.ismp.org

All agencies should also register for the Home Health Quality Initiative's (HHQI) campaign to establish best practices in home health. This April, the campaign released a best practices intervention package (BPIP) on medication management that is free for registered agencies. Sign up for the BPIP at www.homehealthquality.org/hh/resources/education/default.aspx.
