A University of Queensland research collaboration will look at reducing the risk of harm from medication for inpatients and those leaving hospital to return home.
Dr Nazanin Ghahreman-Falconer from UQ's School of Pharmacy is working with Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital and using digital hospital technologies to better manage medications for inpatients and reduce rehospitalization due to medication harm.
"As well as adverse outcomes for the patient, rehospitalization places a huge burden on the healthcare system so our aim is to find solutions." It involves developing digital tools to help clinicians identify cardiac patients most at risk of being readmitted to hospital due to medication harm.
