2:20 PM Presentation: Transforming Medication Safety in Aged Care through Informatics
Medication management remains a major challenge in aged care, impacting resident safety and wellbeing. Traditional monitoring in Australia has relied on small-scale audits, limiting opportunities for improvement. The growing use of electronic medication administration systems enables data-driven insights through real-time monitoring, benchmarking, and predictive analytics. This keynote explores how informatics can transform medication safety by linking medication data with resident characteristics and outcomes to generate meaningful, actionable insights.
- Harnessing electronic data to improve medication safety and quality of care
- Establishing the National Aged Care Medication Roundtable to share data and strategies
- Developing predictive analytics dashboards to support clinical decision-making and person-centred care
