OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate medication management among polymedicated, home-dwelling older adults after discharge from a hospital centre in French-speaking Switzerland and then develop a model to optimise medication management and prevent adverse health outcomes associated with medication-related problems (MRPs).
DESIGN: Explanatory, sequential, mixed methods study based on detailed quantitative and qualitative findings reported previously.
SETTING: Hospital and community healthcare in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
PARTICIPANTS: The quantitative strand retrospectively examined 3 years of hospital electronic patient records (n=53 690 hospitalisations of inpatients aged 65 years or older) to identify the different profiles of those at risk of 30-day hospital readmission and unplanned nursing home admission. The qualitative strand explored the perspectives of older adults (n=28), their informal caregivers (n=17) and healthcare professionals (n=13) on medication management after hospital discharge.
RESULTS: Quantitative results from older adults' profiles, affected by similar patient-related, medication-related and environment-related factors, were enhanced and supported by qualitative findings. The combined findings enabled us to design an interprofessional, collaborative medication management model to prevent MRPs among home-dwelling older adults after hospital discharge. The model comprised four interactive fields of action: listening to polymedicated home-dwelling older adults and their informal caregivers; involving older adults and their informal caregivers in shared, medication-related decision-making; empowering older adults and their informal caregivers for safe medication self-management; optimising collaborative medication management practices.
CONCLUSION: By linking the retrospective and prospective findings from our explanatory sequential study involving multiple stakeholders' perspectives, we created a deeper comprehension of the complexities and challenges of safe medication management among polymedicated, home-dwelling older adults after their discharge from hospital. We subsequently designed an innovative, collaborative, patient-centred model for optimising medication management and preventing MRPs in this population.
