Abstract

Medication review is a pillar in the new recommendations from the Danish Health Authorities regarding patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. This review finds that general practitioners should be primary in coordinating medication. Medication reviews can be conducted differently with various co-interventions to try to improve cross-sectoral collaboration. It seems imperative that the interventions involve improved communication for optimal sharing and implementation of changes to the medication with primary care in a key role.
