Unfortunately there are things wrong in teaching medication management and error prevention this way. The 5 rights are goals to work towards, not procedures. They do not recognize the complexity of remembering to take medication They focus on the results, not how to receive the best results. Further, the evidence supplied by the World Health Organization, states "Up to 90% of people simply forget to take their medication properly" The newly announced MED-Q Pill Dispensers has become a superior aid in three of the five Rights. Right drug, Right dose and right time has been answered. A programmable Pill Box that organizes the right dose, notifies at the right time and dispenses the right drug. A system of audio and visual alerts and alarms is what helps correct three of the five areas where errors can occur.
