Résumé :
|
"Frail older patients are often affected by multiples [sic] comorbidities. They take multiple medications, prescribed by various healthcare providers (HCPs). These HCPs do not always communicate with each other. Transition points of care are frequente. Evidence show that these are thus particularly at risk of discontinuity of medication and thereby at risk of discrepancies. Older patients are also much more susceptible to develop adverse drug events, even though medications are "well-prescribed". However, frail older people are not the only one [sic] at risk of medication discrepancies and their deleterious consequences. Medication reconciliation (MedRec) is a key element to improve medication continuity. When associated to medication adherence and medication review, MedRec improves medication prescribing. The acceleration of information technology (IT) certainly makes it a cornerstone to improve patient safety. This clarifies how IT could improve MedRec and how it could support patient engagement in the MedRec process."
