Prescribing cascades may be overlooked when there are multiple prescribers involved in a patientā€™s care. In this case report, a cascade of diagnoses and prescriptions led to extreme polypharmacy, multiple compounding adverse effects and serious sequelae. #ADR #polypharmacy

Not surprising that a once-off #HMR pharmacist review does not prevent hospitalisation in a very old, frail cohort with high levels of high risk medicine use. Home care services need integrated clinical pharmacy services to improve #medicinesafety. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/7/11/eā€¦

Transitions of care are associated with high risk of medication errors. In this editorial, the authors propose an interdisciplinary stewardship approach to address the intractable problem of medication errors and harms following hospital discharge. #TransitionsOfCare

It is unusual for transitions of care research to address gaps in medication supply as well as information transfer. This study did, and reported that when hospitals do not dispense discharge medicines there are often gaps in medication access. bmchealthservres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11ā€¦
