In this trial, the feasibility of cooperation between clinical pharmacists and physicians by conducting a telephone follow-up conversation between the hospital geriatrician, the general practitioner and the clinical pharmacist is evaluated. During hospital stay the clinical pharmacist and the geriatrician will review older patients' medication and discuss the future treatment with the general practitioner after discharge by telephone or medico-technology.
The first part of the feasibility study will be a qualitative baseline measure of characteristics of the participants and work flow. The second part will be a pilot randomized controlled study where participants will be allocated to either usual care or medication review and follow up contact
