| Founded in 1982, the National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE)
is a non-profit coalition of over 100 diverse organizations. NCPIE’s mission is to
stimulate and improve communication of information on the appropriate use of
medicines to consumers and health care professionals. NCPIE develops programs,
provides educational resources, and offers services to advance the common
mission of its members.
The Medication Use Safety Training (MUST) for Seniors™ program is designed as an
interactive, national initiative to promote safe and appropriate medicine use by
enabling older adults to avoid medication misuse, recognize and manage common
side effects, and improve medicine use knowledge, attitudes, and skills to avoid
medication errors.
MUST for Seniors™ can be offered to community-based, ambulatory older adults.
Older individuals and family caregivers are also encouraged to use this site
and to participate in the program by viewing the online
PowerPoint presentation, video clips and other program messages and materials. |
