No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate if patient involvement in the medication procedures through elements of the medication system One-Stop Dispensing (use of own medication, placed in bedside locker, partly or self-administration of medication) and focused dialogue about medication can maintain or improve the patients' health literacy to perform the prescribed medical treatment during and after hospitalization.

The hypothesis is, that involving the patient in the medication procedure and focused dialogue about the medicine during hospitalization will improve the patients' health literacy measured by patient adherence, patient knowledge and perceptions of safety about the medication. It is further expected that more time will be spent together with the patient, and that the new medication procedures will be cost-neutral.
