      <b><p>Background</b> Suboptimal medication use contributes to a substantial proportion of hospitalizations and emergency department visits in older adults. We designed a clinical pharmacist intervention to optimize medication therapy in older hospitalized patients. Based on the integrated medicine management (IMM) model, the 5-step IMMENSE intervention comprise medication reconciliation, medication ...
    • Interdisciplinary collaboration across secondary and primary care to improve medication safety in the elderly (IMMENSE study): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial 

      Johansen, Jeanette Schultz; Havnes, Kjerstin; Halvorsen, Kjell H.; Haustreis, Stine-Mari; Skaue, Lillann Wilsgård; Kamycheva, Elena; Mathiesen, Liv; Viktil, Kirsten Kilvik; Granås, Anne Gerd; Garcia, Beate Hennie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-23)
      <p><i>Introduction:</i> Drug-related problems (DRPs) are common in the elderly, leading to suboptimal therapy, hospitalisations and increased mortality. The integrated medicines management (IMM) model is a multifactorial interdisciplinary methodology aiming to optimise individual medication therapy throughout the hospital stay. IMM has been shown to reduce readmissions and drug-related hospital ...

    • Intervention fidelity and process outcomes of the IMMENSE study, a pharmacist-led interdisciplinary intervention to improve medication safety in older hospitalized patients 

      Johansen, Jeanette Schultz; Halvorsen, Kjell H.; Havnes, Kjerstin; Wetting, Hilde Ljones; Svendsen, Kristian; Garcia, Beate Hennie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-21)
      What is known and Objective - The majority of hospitalized older patients experience medication-related problems (MRPs), and there is a call for interventions to solve MRPs and improve clinical outcomes like medical visits. The IMMENSE study is a randomized controlled trial investigating the impact of a pharmacist-led interdisciplinary intervention on emergency medical visits. Its multistep intervention ...
    • Time distribution for pharmacists conducting a randomized controlled trial — An observational time and motion study. 

      Havnes, Kjerstin; Lehnbom, Elin; Walter, Scott R.; Garcia, Beate; Halvorsen, Kjell H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-30)
      Introduction - An expected future increase in older adults will demand changes in health care delivery, making development, implementation and evaluation of new health care models essential. The rationale for political decision-making concerning the implementation and application of interventions in health care should include cost estimations, specifically those involving clinical interventions. To ...
    • A Trial-Based Cost-Utility Analysis of a Medication Optimization Intervention Versus Standard Care in Older Adults
