Medication-related Problems: 5th-leading cause of death in elderly

Posted Jun 10 2009 6:43pm
If medication-related problems were classified as an actual disease- they would rank as the 5th leading cause of death in this country. It is estimated that up to 50% of all medication-related problems are preventable. FIFTY PERCENT! It begs the question, then, why don’t we do something about this?
We hear during every major election season, candidates talking about health care and health care reform. What they are talking about is insurance COVERAGE reform, not the actual health care.
