Summary

Medication treatment is not always optimal, and care transitions are problematic with errors and clinical consequences. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of an intervention to reduce errors, in the patient medication list when discharged from hospital to home. It will be secured that patients have the correct medications available for use after discharge and, that the information about current medications is correct in the Electronic Health Register and the pharmacy dispensing system. 100 patients 60 years and older, handling their own medications, and prescribed at least five continuous medications, Swedish or Arabic speaking, will be recruited from a hospital in Malmö before discharge. Discrepancies between the accurate medication list and patients' actual use will be followed up three weeks after discharge.
