Researchers: Dr Janet Sluggett (Principal investigator)

Brief description Older people receiving community and residential aged care services often take multiple medicines. When used appropriately, medicines can improve health outcomes, but sometimes medicines can cause unintended harm. This project will analyse Australian and international ‘Big Data’ for the purpose of developing services that maximise the benefits and reduce the risks relating to medicines use among older people receiving community or residential aged care services.
