A potential for a new feld would be the adherence
specialist. This person would have extensive pharmaceutical
knowledge in addition to a background in behavioral psychol-
ogy. The aim of this feld would be working personally with each
patient to help them understand their medication and how to
appropriately incorporate a medication regiment into their daily
schedules.
Having the patient bring in their medica-
tion opens the potential for a digital database
to be developed. This system would have each
individuals medication and dosage cataloged
and could be quickly referenced to see if there
are known conficts. Furthermore, doctors could
leave notes if the patient had a positive or nega-
tive reaction in addition to any side effects. This
would allow multiple doctors and medical profes-
sionals to have access to a persons medication
history preventing redundant prescriptions. This
would alleviate the stress on the individual to
remember how they reacted to a certain medica-
tion, and help eliminate confusion from having
to go through various medical paperwork to fnd
past prescriptions.

Written in an engaging style, Loe sheds light
on the realities about the well-being of those
who are 85+ and illustrates resilience, creativ-
ity, adaption and strength among a group of
people often thought of as otherwise.This
book teaches how older adults have adapted
to changes in living, and it reinforces that
getting older is not the end of life, but rather,
another stage of life that can be embraced.

AGING OUR WAY
By Meika Loe
In an era where the elderly are seen as people who need to be looked
after and entertained, one chorus in Massachusetts has turned the old
age formula upside down. Instead of singing songs to pass the time as
bones get bridle and hearts clog up, this group of senior citizens seeks
to shake up audiences and make people of all ages, especially younger
people, look at art and life in a whole new way. And theyve been doing it
quite successfully for 30 years.
