Hospital discharge drug check aims to protect seniors
NCT ID NCT03415113
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a formal medication review at hospital discharge helps reduce the number of potentially harmful drugs prescribed to older adults. Researchers compared two groups of patients aged 75 and older: one group received a standardized medication check, while the other did not. The goal was to see if better coordination between the hospital and community pharmacy leads to safer prescriptions after leaving the hospital.
