Abstract

Inappropriate drug prescribing is an avoidable cause of adverse drug events, sources of an increase in morbimortality, excess spending and a decrease in quality of life. Many actions exist to improve prescribing quality and to secure the medication circuit in nursing homes. As part of the deployment of telemedicine, the benefit of a medico-pharmaceutical tele-expertise system for medication is evident.
