Adverse Drug Events
Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a leading cause of preventable patient harm, disproportionally affecting people with Medicare over the age of 65. With an increasing number of the Medicare patients taking prescription medications and seeing multiple providers, medication safety in all healthcare settings is essential to care coordination and improving patient health.
Qsource is working with healthcare providers, communities and patients to improve medication safety and reduce and prevent adverse drug events by helping to identify barriers to reduction and implement best practice strategies.
Browse our resources below for more information on ADEs. We also invite you to join one of many communities working to prevent them, and see what nursing homes are doing to reduce antipsychotics.
