Dr Laetitia Hattingh from UQ's School of Pharmacy featured in an article by Gold Coast Health about funding from the Medical Research Future Fund to investigate how to decrease medication-related harm following discharge from hospital.
Dr Laetitia Hattingh said the aim of the study is to improve patient outcomes and reduce avoidable medication-related hospital readmissions by optimising medicine information handover during transition of care.
“We expect outcomes from our multifaceted project will reduce preventable hospital readmissions whilst incorporating a digital solution to strengthen communications between all healthcare stakeholders,” Dr Hattingh said.
