The introduction of electronic medication charts and prescribing in aged care facilities: An evaluation

The objective was to test the feasibility of electronic medication charts in aged care facilities and the impact on general practitioner (GP) and staff work processes. The Illawarra Division of General Practice conducted a trial where GPs used a modified version of commercially available software to generate medication charts, in four residential aged care facilities. Semistructured, face‐to‐face interviews, log books and an issue register were used to evaluate the success of this trial.
