4CPS-246 Impact of medication review to optimise prescriptions of nursing home residents

摘要

In our hospital, a day care centre is dedicated to dependent elderly patients living in nursing homes to explore their general health status, specific problems and to optimise their medical care. Medication review is performed daily by both clinical pharmacists and geriatric physicians. This review aims to identify potentially inappropriate drug prescribing (PIDP) according to explicit and implicit criteria, and then to propose optimisations to general practitioners (GP).
