This study is being done to find out if a multi-faceted intervention designed to optimize medication in hospitalized older people with multiple chronic medical conditions exposed to multiple medications can reduce unplanned hospital readmission and emergency department attendance compared to current usual medication management. The study intervention aims to minimize potentially inappropriate medications in a structured way and involves follow up with patients and GPs. Patients will be allocated equally to (i) standard medication management (control arm) or (ii) trained physician-delivered intervention or (iii) clinical pharmacist-delivered intervention.
