Simple monitoring system could reduce medication-related illness for people in care homes
New research from Swansea University suggests that a simple nurse- or carer-led medicines monitoring system can help reduce medication-related illness for people living in residential care homes - and the process takes just a few minutes per patient.
The research paper published in the
PLOS ONE journal looked how the monitoring system, known as the Adverse Drug Reaction Profile (ADRe-p), can help nurses or carers identify medicines mismanagement or adverse drug reactions in patients prescribed multiple medicines, and can help avoid medication-related harm and improve prescribing.
The problem presented by the scale and complexity of inadvertent harm from both use and misuse of medicines is very real, which is reflected in the World Health Organisation s (WHO) Third Global Patient Safety Challenge aiming to reduce avoidable medication-related harm by 50% by next year.
