Abstract
Medication safety is a primary patient safety goal. Medication safety addresses a comprehensive process that includes prescription issuance, medication dispensing, administration, and patient consumption. The application of mobile communication technology to healthcare products and to the extension of medication safety beyond the hospital into daily life are important trends. The elderly are a high risk group for adverse drug events due to age and higher incidences of chronic disease, multiple medication use, and improper medication behavior. Drug safeguards delivered through mobile services can enhance the medication safety of elders. Such services provide an education, care giving, and response link among institutions, homes, and the community, making it easier to integrate medication safety technology into daily life.
