Action Plan
Develop an action plan to improve medication access/ compliance/ adherence/ monitoring for the at-risk population, while addressing the barriers present. (For example: the at-risk population is composed of a very low socioeconomic group, and the main health concern is hypertension and cardiac-related issues. What could you propose that would improve the access and adherence to hypertensive medications?) The action plan must include:
The issue your plan will address
Resources needed
Stakeholders involved
