Summary

The main objective of the study is to show that the multidisciplinary review of drug prescriptions changes the adverse drug event (ADE) geriatric risk score (according to Trivalle and Ducimetière 2013) for patients living in the Nîmes University Hospital Residence for Dependent Elderly.

Conditions

  • Geriatrics
  • Residence for Dependent Elderly
  • Health Services for the Aged

Before-after study

The before-after study is composed of a first observational phase followed by a proactive phase, and then finally by a second observational phase. The first observational phase corresponds to retrospective data-collecting for the information necessary for calculating the baseline ADE geriatric risk score. The proactive phase corresponds to a multidisciplinary review of drug prescriptions (especially long-term drugs) for all included patients in the residence. During the second observational phase, the same data as in the first observational phase will be collected a second time.
