The purpose of the study is to examine whether a stratified medication review performed in patients at highest risk of experiencing medication errors have impact on numbers of medication errrors during hospitalization.
Acutely admitted medical patients will be included after admission. After inclusion and randomization the patients will be risk stratified with an existing algorithm according to risk of medication error. The patients in the intervention group will receive a medication review performed by a clinical pharmacist if they are in high medication error risk. Patients in highest medication error risk will recieve a medication review performed by a clinical pharmacologist.
