Summary
Older Australians with the most complex health needs live in residential care. Greater than 80% of residents are on five or more medications daily, and 40% are taking 10 or more. Poor medication management is the greatest source of complaint to the Aged Care Quality & Safety Commission. This project will provide timely information to a group of providers and consumers about the medicines residents receive, identify problem areas and trial innovative interventions to address these issues.
