Clinical Trial Summary

In the clinical routine of a hospital, there are often problems dealing with medication that has already been prescribed at the time of admission due to incomplete or missing medication lists from the family doctor. Often patients forget this list at home.

This pilot study focuses on the medication process from admission to discharge and patient health literacy.
