Chronic Disease and Complex Medication Management

Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis that often require ongoing medical care and management. In geriatrics, or elder care, these diseases can complicate treatment, especially during emergencies. Complex medication management involves carefully coordinating numerous medications that older adults may take for their various health issues. This ensures that medications work well together and minimize side effects or negative interactions. Proper management is crucial in emergency settings to stabilize older patients effectively and prevent further health complications.
