[Continuity of medication after hospitalisation in geriatric follow-up and rehabilitation care]

Abstract

After one year of practice, the medication reconciliation approach in follow-up and rehabilitation care was evaluated. The aim of the activity was to identify changes in treatment (CT). Three hundred and two patients benefited from the process. Some 82.2% of drug lines had voluntary TCs at discharge and all of patients had at least one TC at discharge. What are the consequences of so many TCs and what are the levers to limit these effects?
