      <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 ...

    • Optimising drug therapy in older patients. Exploring different approaches across the patient pathway 

      Havnes, Kjerstin (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-12-14)
      <p><i>Background -</i> Drug therapy contributes to healthy aging but has a key duality: It prolongs and can improve quality of life, but drugs can also cause serious harm. Harm from drugs include falls, cognitive decline, lowered quality of life, hospitalisation, and death. Older patients are especially at risk for harm from drug therapy, therefore optimising drug therapy is imperative for this ...

    • 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 ...
