Continued use of potentially inappropriate medication after hospital discharge

Description

Many patients receive temporarily indicated medications when they are hospitalized, e.g. opioids, benzodiazepines and/or antipsychotics. When such medications are continued at hospital discharge, it can result in potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use post-discharge. However, there are no data available about continued use of PIMs at home in the Netherlands. Therefore, this research focuses on the use of in-hospital-initiated PIMs post discharge in the Netherlands.
