Abstract

Aging, multimorbidity and related polypharmacy account for a high incidence of medication-related problems. Recently, the research project SCREEN has started, first to assess the current situation regarding medication reviews in the Netherlands and second, to develop an electronic medication surveying system that takes into account the patient's clinical information and enables a continuous medication evaluation. It is expected that this novel approach of medication surveillance will decrease medication related problems, improve the quality of life and mitigate care-related costs.
