Drug treatment in elderly is not yet optimal. 20 to 30% of admissions of elderly aged over 80 are related to drug problems, most of them being preventable. To decrease drug related hospitalizations need iatrogenic prevention, compliance improvement, and underuse decrease. A multifaceted intervention has been designed, included three dimensions : 1/ drug optimization 2/ patient and/or caregiver education and 3/ better coordination with home health professionals before discharge.
