Reducing medication complexity
Medication administration in an aged care environment is complex and fragmented and has many potential benefits in using an integrated approach for both the administration and the wellbeing of residents. MRS GRACE (Medication Regimen Simplification Guide for Residential Aged Care) is the first validated tool to assist pharmacists and medical practitioners to determine whether the medications prescribed to a resident can be consolidated.
‘Simplification of Medications Prescribed to Long Term Care Residents’, known as SIMPLER, is a randomised control trial that investigated the effectiveness of the MRS GRACE medication simplification tool.
