Medication Cards
|
The safety of our patients is of utmost concern to the staff at Riley Hospital. One area of patient safety is medication safety. When patients come into Riley Hospital, they bring with them a history of various medications that different doctors have prescribed for them. It is our responsibility as one of your health care providers to ensure we are aware of all medications you are taking, both prescribed by a doctor and those you take that are over-the-counter medicines. When you are admitted to Riley, you will be asked to provide a complete list of all the medications you are taking. Our staff will interview you about your medication history, and this card will help them obtain this information. They will investigate to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide to us. During the course of your hospitalization, if your doctors prescribe new medications for you to take or discontinue current medications, we will keep track of these and ensure they are provided to your next health care provider. In this way, you can rest assured that everyone who is taking care of you has the most current information about your medication history. To help us provide the best care to you, we have developed a medication history card that will allow you to keep track of the medicines you take as well as other important health care information. Whenever you visit your doctors or come to the hospital, bring this medication card with you to share with your health care provider and record changes to your medication. Every patient at Riley will receive this card upon admission and will be able to take home the card upon discharge. To download the medication cards and begin using them immediately, click here.
