A Randomized Control Trial Testing a Medication Safety Dashboard in Veteran Transplant Recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Medication errors, adverse events, and nonadherence in organ transplant recipients are common and can lead to suboptimal outcomes. A medication safety dashboard was developed to identify issues in medication therapy.

Research questions

Can a multicenter bioinformatics dashboard accurately identify clinically relevant medication safety issues in US military Veteran transplant recipients?

Design

The dashboard was tested through a 24-month, prospective, cluster-randomized controlled multicenter study. Pharmacists used the dashboard to identify and address potential medication safety issues, which was compared with usual care.

Results

Across the 10 sites (5 control sites and 5 intervention sites), 2012 patients were enrolled (1197 intervention vs 831 c
