We know that there is a large gap between the evidence of how medications should be used, and what happens in practice.
It is estimated that between 2 and 3% of hospital admissions in Australia are medication related.
What can we do about it?
In a study published this month in the MJA, Gillian Caughey and colleagues looked at the prevalence of suboptmal medication management in 164,000 patient admission over 5 years. They have developed evidence-based medication-related indicators of suboptimal processes of care before hospitalisation that are specific to the Australian health care setting.
Using these indicators, 25% of admissions were preceded by suboptimal medication management.
This paper recommends that routine prospective monitoring of these clinical indicators would provide a means for quality improvement in the management of common chronic conditions.
I can feel a collaborative coming on.
