Abstract

This review article examines the role of nurse-pharmacist partnerships in improving medication adherence among older adults. Medication non-adherence is a significant issue among the elderly population, leading to adverse health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Collaborative efforts between nurses and pharmacists have shown promise in addressing this challenge by providing comprehensive medication management and patient education. The article discusses various strategies employed by nurse-pharmacist partnerships, such as medication reconciliation, medication therapy management, and patient counseling. Additionally, the review explores the impact of these interventions on medication adherence, health outcomes, and quality of life in older adults. The potential benefits, challenges, and future directions of nurse-pharmacist collaborations in promoting medication adherence in the elderly population are also discussed.
