Post-discharge adjustment of medication in geriatric patients : A prospective cohort study.

Whereas some changes may be necessary due to alterations in patients' state of health, a thorough communication between hospital doctors and GPs may level off different prescribing cultures and contribute to consistency in medication across sectors.
