Abstract

High-risk drugs, which are potentially a source of serious adverse reactions, are a major concern in healthcare establishments, particularly for geriatric patients, who often have multiple medications and co-morbid conditions. With a view to continuously improving the quality and safety of care, we have embarked on a proactive approach aimed at identifying, securing and improving the management of medicines at risk in geriatric wards.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.
