More and more State Medicaid programs are reimbursing for remote medication adherence and vital sign monitoring and transitional care programs that reduce hospital admissions and re-admissions. The TabSafe unit is managed with easy-to-use online programming. The cartridges that hold medication can be filled by your staff, pharmacies, or family-members depending on state regulations and your service model. TabSafe enhances medication management services by proactively reminding the patients and following up with phone calls to patients, families, caregivers, or monitoring call centers before dose times are missed. The program allows 40 personalized messages that can be quickly added or changed on any internet enabled device. It can be used to remind patients of your visits to ensure the patient is home at the scheduled time or any other single or repetitive actions that you want them to be alerted to. All of the adherence data is secure and available for viewing online with reports including a daily exception report that points out patients with potentially adverse adherence. You can demonstrate results!

Medication Management Services
One of the most important aspects of providing chronic care for seniors, patients recovering from surgery or illness, or recently discharged patients prone to re-admission is adherence with prescribed medications and other therapies. Elderly home health care patients are especially vulnerable to having adverse events from medication errors; they often take multiple medications for a variety of co-morbidities that often are prescribed by more than one provider. Improper use of medications can lead to an increase in an array of problems ranging from confusion and memory loss to falls and unnecessary admissions to hospitals, nursing homes or other institutions. Preventing accidental overdose in cases of chronic pain can also be lifesaving.
The TabSafe Medication Management System will ensure that your patient takes their prescribed medications in the right dosage, at the right time, and according to the doctor’s instructions including the medications that are the most difficult to manage, “as needed” medication, including pain pills and tranquilizers.
