Are they thriving? Lowering risk and improving safety of medicines use in older Australians receiving community and residential aged care services

接受社区和居民养老服务的老年人经常服用多种药物。如果使用得当，药物可以改善健康结果，但有时药物可能会造成意外伤害。该项目将分析澳大利亚和国际上的“大数据”，以开发服务，最大限度地提高接受社区或住宅养老服务的老年人使用药物的好处，并降低与其相关的风险。

Older people receiving community and residential aged care services often take multiple medicines. When used appropriately, medicines can improve health outcomes, but sometimes medicines can cause unintended harm. This project will analyse Australian and international ‘Big Data’ for the purpose of developing services that maximise the benefits and reduce the risks relating to medicines use among older people receiving community or residential aged care services.
