Study Summary

Medication safety issues in Veteran organ transplant recipients, including side effects and errors, are a major issue leading to graft failure and death. The causes of these events are complicated and involve fragmented care, communication breakdowns between the Veterans, providers and the different health care systems. This grant proposal seeks to improve medication safety within these high-risk Veterans, using two innovative components; the application of technology to leverage the massive amount of data contained within the electronic medical record in identifying Veterans with potential medication safety issues, coupled with a pharmacist-led intervention to improve the management and coordination of immunosuppression therapy. The completion of this prospective, multicenter, cluster randomized controlled clinical trial will provide evidence that these interventions can improve medication safety, clinical outcomes and costs and will be used to justify the dissemination of these interventions to all VAs caring for Veteran transplant recipients across the U.S.
