The project was conducted as part of the Queensland Allied Health Rural Generalist Pathway Initiative to implement and evaluate a medication management service aimed at supporting patients with their medications in the immediate post discharge period, including linking patients in with their community providers. Patients utilising Atherton Hospital outpatient clinics who were considered at high risk of medication misadventure were also eligible for the service.
The project has successfully navigated healthcare system challenges to deliver change, improvement and innovation in the health service and has presented at the Clinical Excellence Queensland Showcase 2019.
