In this trial, the feasibility of cooperation between clinical pharmacists and physicians by
conducting a telephone follow-up conversation between the hospital geriatrician, the general
practitioner and the clinical pharmacist is evaluated. During hospital stay the clinical
pharmacist and the geriatrician will review older patients' medication and discuss the future
treatment with the general practitioner after discharge by telephone or medico-technology.

characteristics of the participants and work flow. The second part will be a pilot randomized
controlled study where participants will be allocated to either usual care or medication
review and follow up contact
