Medication Errors Kill Thousands Each Year
The need for MEDI-RING® increases in proportion to the number of prescribed medications a patient takes. Multiple pill bottles for multiple ailments can be confusing to the elderly, or to anyone with poor eyesight, or compromised mental faculties. Pain also increases confusion, and there are many differing medications for pain.
Medication errors are estimated to account for 7,000 deaths annually, and those who suffered unintended drug events were hospitalized eight to twelve days longer. Preventable adverse drug effects cost the healthcare system $2 billion a year, driving up the cost of health insurance.
People who rely on family, or multiple caregivers to administer their medication will have added peace of mind that potential errors are minimized by the use of MEDI-RING® .
At least 1.5 million Americans are sickened, injured, or die each year from medication errors. Unfamiliarity with drug names, newly available pharmaceuticals, and similar packaging or labeling all compound the problem. MEDI-RING® has proven instrumental in reducing such errors at home.
