A National Aged Care Medication Roundtable - Translating aged care data into action to improve quality of care through collaboration and co-design [ 11/1/2021 - 10/31/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Older Australians with the most complex health needs live in residential care. Greater than 80% of residents are on five or more medications daily, and 40% are taking 10 or more. Poor medication management is the greatest source of complaint to the Aged Care Quality & Safety Commission. This project will provide timely information to a group of providers and consumers about the medicines residents receive, identify problem areas and trial innovative interventions to address these issues.
