dc.description.abstractA poster presentation regarding the risks of drug induced effects and hospital admissions. Introduction: ● Drug induced effects may be due to adverse drug events, drug therapy failures and medication errors, which if prevented would improve the clinical outcome of the patients. ● The occurrence of drug induced effects results in increased hospital admissions and a prolonged hospital stay as well as an increase in costs. ● The occurrence of drug induced effects has a negative impact on patient safety since they may result in patient morbidity and mortality. Aims: ● To investigate the occurrences of drug induced effects related to hospital admissions. ● To identify drug related hospital admissions and classify them into different categories depending on the effect that occurred. ● To evaluate the risk associated with these drug induced effects. ● To propose methods to decrease the incidence of patients being admitted due to drug induced effectsen_GB
