Abstract
The senior citizens living at home alone are increasing year by year because of coming very old patient's society. Then the home medications with care plans are spreading rapidly. We investigated to increase QOL (quality of life) by managing the proper medication as a project team. We played in the active team to give medicine correctly according to patient prescriptions, cooperating with visiting nurse, care manager, home helper and visiting pharmacist. To a diabetic patient who was confirmed low medicine compliance, asked visiting home helpers and visiting home nurse to check his taking of medicine correctly or not every day. For a cirrhotic patient who mostly took LIVACT Granules which contains branched chain amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine) as protein source, we taught her the LIVACT contains not enough nutrition and asked registered dietician to give her individual lecture to eat properly nourishing food.
