Michael Wolf et al. developed and tested these instructions for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to improve patient understanding, safety, and adherence. The instructions follow the Universal Medication Schedule (UMS), which uses standard time periods (morning, noon, evening, and bedtime). The instructions appear in 6 languages (English, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese).
