Article Synopsis
- Despite ongoing efforts, medication-related harm in nursing homes remains a significant global issue, particularly due to frail, older residents facing multiple chronic diseases and polypharmacy.
- The study aims to create an intervention to enhance medication safety using a collaborative approach that incorporates patient safety culture and experiences from various stakeholders.
- Key findings highlight three main themes influencing medication safety: the presence of closed systems and functional gaps, misinterpretation of resources and their potential, and the importance of community engagement in medication safety practices.
