Effect of integrated medicines management on quality of discharge medication information-a secondary endpoint in a randomized controlled trial.

Background: High-quality discharge information is important to promote patient safety when patients are transferred from hospital to primary care. Patients with multiple long-term conditions are especially vulnerable to insufficient transfer of medication information, as they use many medications and have complex interactions with the healthcare services. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of integrated medicines management provided to hospitalized multimorbid patients on the quality of the discharge medication information.

Need for Human Interaction and Acknowledging Communication-An Interview Study With Patients With Aphasia Following Stroke.

Aim: To explore stroke patients' experiences of the communicative practice during their hospitalisation and describe strategies and supporting communication techniques applied by patients and nursing staff from the patient's perspective.

Design: A qualitative descriptive study was undertaken.

Methods: A qualitative approach was chosen; through a purposeful sample strategy, 13 semi-structed interviews with 12 patients who had aphasia following stroke, and one patient had dysarthria.

Education and training programs for health professionals' competence in virtual consultations: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to explore, report, and map the evidence on education and training programs for current and future health professionals' competence in virtual consultations.

Introduction: Digital solutions, telemedicine, and technologies are increasingly becoming a part of the health system, requiring current and future health professionals to master skills in these domains.

Inclusion Criteria: This review will consider any studies on education and training programs designed to optimize current and future health professionals' competence in virtual consultations in any setting, such as faculties, universities, university colleges, hospitals, or community locations.

Development and external validation of a prognostic model for time to readmission or death in multimorbid patients.

Objective: To develop and externally validate a prognostic model built on important factors predisposing multimorbid patients to all-cause readmission and/or death. In addition to identify patients who may benefit most from a comprehensive clinical pharmacist intervention.

Methods: A multivariable prognostic model was developed based on data from a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of pharmacist-led medicines management on readmission rate in multimorbid, hospitalised patients.
