Medication Management Using Technology-Based Interventions in Older People at Home Care Settings: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Older adults with complex care needs and polypharmacy are at risk of experiencing medication-related problems such as administration errors and adverse drug events. These problems lead to increased use of emergency care and hospital admissions. Technology-based interventions have been introduced to address some of these problems. This review aims to establish key concepts and address the gaps in the evidence base to improve the use of technology-based interventions and reduce medication management-associated problems in home care settings.
