Providing information about medication changes upon discharge from a geriatric unit: the community healthcare professionals' point of view.

Introduction: It is well known that polypharmacy is associated with adverse drug events.

Although screening in primary care with the Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral Treatment strategy has been recommended since 2008, it remains underutilized. This may be due to barriers including lack of time, patient reluctance or perhaps the timing and approach for discussing addiction with their patients.
