Rural and Remote Health, 09/15/09
Pierce DF et al. – This study identified pathways used to transfer medication information about patients being admitted to aged care facilities, and also immediate responses to that information. The study indicates that these processes, while generally satisfactory, are at times less than ideal. Health professionals in rural Australia may be in an ideal position to develop and implement effective local responses to identified problems, by activating interprofessional links. The study also highlights the issue of aged care staff acting outside their designated role in an attempt to ensure timely medication administration to their patients, a potentially inefficient use of limited staff time.
