Activating pharmacists to reduce medication related problems (ACTMed)
-
Prof Dougie Boyle
Project Details
This is the first Australian trial implementing an electronic dashboard, feedback, education and financial incentives to reduce high risk prescribing. Using a stepped wedge randomised controlled trial, we aim to co-design, implement and evaluate the use of a pharmacist-led medication safety dashboard, with concurrent GP feedback and economic incentives, to target serious medication-related problems in primary care settings. Our privacy protecting GRHANITE® data extraction tool and our creation of an add on module to the Future Health Today platform, are key to the success of this project.
