Abstract

The purpose of this article is to report the results of a pilot study of the relationship between cognitive impairment and medication self-management errors in older adults discharged home from a community hospital. It is hoped that these preliminary data will provide some new ideas for reducing errors in medication self-management posthospitalization.
