The challenges of the Optimédoc project:

Optimédoc is an interdisciplinary and multi-professional pathway for the elderly, based on a collaboration between community and hospital services. The attending physician, the community pharmacist, and the hospital support team, composed of a hospital pharmacist and a geriatrician, collaborate on the medication management of people aged 75 and over, taking multiple medications, whether hospitalized or not, who present a significant risk of iatrogenic effects (all adverse effects caused by taking one or more medications).

The objective of this approach is to optimize the medication management of elderly patients using decisions made during multidisciplinary team meetings between the city and the hospital.

The Optimédoc system:

The inclusion of elderly subjects at high risk of iatrogenic injury in the program is carried out:

• For patients residing in the city: following identification and referral by the attending physician to this system by telephone at 02 31 06 53 17.The
  initial identification criterion is a prescription containing more than 5 medications in people aged 75 or over.
• for hospitalized patients: following identification and intra-hospital referral to this system with the agreement of the attending physician and the patient.

The journey is divided into 4 stages:

1. Inclusion
2. Specialized evaluation
3. Consultation
4. Follow up
