The innovation idea is to develop valuable new knowledge about safe drug use in people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDDs). The main goal is to design a framework (routines and processes) that ensures safe drug use and provides qualitatively better services for people with IDDs. Secondary goals are that employees will experience better security when working with medicines, and interact better with people with IDD and relatives by implementing digital support functions. The innovation idea is specifically to develop/improve the following: 1) Medication management: Coordinating routines, procedures and work processes regarding all aspects of drug use, medication handling, and communication between care units for people with IDDs. 2) Medication therapy: Chart review of prescribed medication and gather knowledge about challenges related to drug use in this group. Based on this, we will develop new methods for drug reconciliation and medication reviews to optimize drug use. 3) New framework for safe drug use in the community-based services for people with IDDs.
