8) Mixed Methods
Questions: In this review we focused on the pertinent issues specifically related to medication management for individuals living at home and receiving homecare services and were guided by the following research questions:
1. What are the issues encountered by individuals, families, caregivers and healthcare providers related to the medication management of individuals living in the community and receiving homecare services?
2. What are the documented errors or adverse events that occur in this population that relate to the management of their medications?
3. What strategies have been implemented and evaluated in the home setting that address the issues related to medication management encountered by this population?
