The patient's medication list - first study
You will hear about the background to why there is a need to introduce the Patient Medication List.
Challenges faced by healthcare professionals in primary care in accessing pharmaceutical information, prior to the introduction of the Patient Medication List.
It is challenging for healthcare professionals to access drug information. The systems they use don't share important information and changes in drug treatment are not coordinated. A lot of time and resources are spent on this, which in turn can jeopardise patient safety and the quality of treatment.
