本研究的目的是检查在家庭医疗保健后出院后存在药物管理问题风险的老年人中出现的差异错误的数量和类型。在414名参与者中，超过一半的人至少有一种药物差异错误（53.2%,n=219），其中最常见的是参与者遗漏处方药（n=118, 30.17%）。这项研究的结果支持家庭健康临床医生需要对药物方案进行频繁的评估，以确保老年人了解他们所开的方案，并有适当的系统来支持他们管理他们的药物。
The purpose of this study was to examine the number and types of discrepancy errors present after discharge from home health care in older adults at risk for medication management problems following an episode of home healthcare. More than half of the 414 participants had at least one medication discrepancy error (53.2%, n=219) with the participant’s omission of a prescribed medication (n=118, 30.17%) occurring most frequently. The results of this study support the need for home health clinicians to perform frequent assessments of medication regimens to ensure that the older adults are aware of the regimen they are prescribed, and have systems in place to support them in managing their medications.
