Lay summary
Investigating the prevalence of drug-related problems among patients with polypharmacy, and evaluate the impacts of SMRs on drug-related problems and health outcomes of these patients
Public benefit statement
This proposed research aims to address this gap comprehensively. Using digital health records from the Whole Systems Integrated Care (WSIC), I will investigate the prevalence of drug-related problems (including overprescribing, drug-drug interactions, and adverse drug events) among patients with polypharmacy, and evaluate the impacts of SMRs on drug-related problems and health outcomes of these patients. The results from this research will provide evidence for implementing SMRs in primary care and improving the quality of care for patients with polypharmacy.
