The Medication Management app is based on popular hard-copy quick reference cards that were also developed by DTA.
The app has two sections.

The second section lists medications that may adversely affect cognition to assist staff to identify these medications during medication review.
The information is presented in a straightforward, easy to navigate format, so it can be easily used across all aged care environments.
DTA is funded by the Australian Government to provide dementia education and training across Australia. DTA is delivering a coordinated national approach to dementia training, combining the dementia expertise of five universities and Alzheimer’s Australia.
The Medication Management app is one of a suite of medication management resources developed by DTA’s team at the University of Western Australia. The resources, to be launched in Perth on October 4, include:
DTA’s Medication Management App is available for iPhone, iPad and Android. Search your app provider for ‘DTA Medications’ and look for the orange DTA icon. The PC version is available on our website.
