Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The presence of a clinical pharmacist (for their pharmacological expertise) and a general practitioner (for their somatic expertise) in surgery departments would contribute to improve the management of medications in elderly patients.

B1 interventional group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mutlidisciplinary medication Review (MMR)

Intervention Type OTHER

The clinical pharmacist performs medication reconciliation and pharmaceutical analysis. The physician performs a clinical examination and analysis of the medical record. Both participate in a collaborative interview. The hospital physician calls the community pharamcist to discuss proposed changes on the order and to establish a new prescription. At the end of the stay, the clinical pharmacist will conduct an exit interview with the patient. Three months after discharge, the patient's community pharmacist will be contacted to assess whether the changes proposed in the MMR were accepted

Mutlidisciplinary medication Review (MMR) with community pharmacist follow-up

Intervention Type OTHER

Multidisciplinary medication review (MMR) The clinical pharmacist performs medication reconciliation and pharmaceutical analysis. The physician performs a clinical examination and analysis of the medical record. Both participate in a collaborative interview. The hospital physician calls the community physician to discuss proposed changes on the order and to establish a new prescription. At the end of the stay, the clinical pharmacist will conduct an exit interview with the patient.

Community follow-up A summary of the follow-up report stating the therapeutic modifications (called below multidisciplinary correspondence documents) will be sent to the community pharmacist and physician. Within 2 months of discharge, the pharmacist performs a follow-up of medication changes accepted and not accepted by the community physician.

Three months after discharge, the patient's community pharmacist will be contacted to assess whether the changes proposed in the MMR were accepted.
