Official title:
Effect of Medication Reviews in Hospitalized High-risk Patients - a Randomised Controlled Trial
The purpose of the study is to examine whether a stratified medication review performed in patients at highest risk of experiencing medication errors have impact on numbers of medication errrors during hospitalization.
