Summary

Harm from medications is still a concern in an aged population. As medication treatment for older persons many times are complex, a feasibility study can be helpful to support decisions about future evaluation and implementation of an intervention.

In this study, the overall aim is to assess feasibility, acceptability and potential effects of usage of a co-designed medication plan for older persons with medication treatment.

The study will take place in the primary care setting in Sweden, and involve persons 75 years or older using five or more medications on daily basis, physicians at primary care centers and persons supporting the older person in their medication use a home.

During an appointment, the physician and older person will agree on a medication plan, that will be documented in the older person's electronic health record and printed out on paper.

After three month, the potential outcomes of a medication plan will be collected, together with data about feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. Two questionnaires will be used, addressing usability and patient safety. Moreover, remote interviews with participants will be performed to address usability and patient safety. Information about the medication plan will be collected from the electronic health record. Data analysis will be done with descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis.

Expected outcomes are an assessment of feasibility and acceptability, and potential outcomes, to support decision on a future evaluation of the medication plan.
