IMPACT OF HIGH RISK MEDICATIONS USE AUSTRALIA WIDE
Unintentional loss of life from overdose in Australia continues to outnumber the road toll, and Australia's annual overdose report 2022 shows drug induced deaths are the second leading cause of death for those aged 30 to 39 in the 2020 calendar year, behind only suicide. For those 20 to 29 and 40 to 49, drug induced deaths were the third leading cause. Of the 2200 unintentional drug overdose fatalities recorded in 2020, more than half involved benzodiazepine's (sedatives).
Our aim is to minimise the use of these high-risk medications and polypharmacy in order to decrease the number of deaths caused by drug overdose. The majority of injured people on insurance claims are taking high-risk medications and usually more than one at a time.
OUR TEAM
At MedsReviewed our independent Pharmacists are impartial accredited clinical Pharmacists. They are not directly employed by the insurance company, hence avoiding any conflict of interest. Our independent Pharmacists possess extensive experience in providing comprehensive Medication Reviews.
At MedsReviewed our expertise lies in obtaining a thorough and comprehensive medication profile, which involves analysing the interactions between medications related to the claim and non-claim related medications. We work closely with the injured person’s treating practitioners and suggest safer alternative treatments that can help reduce and eventually eliminate the use of high-risk medications. This approach aligns with the objective of facilitating a safe and prompt return to the injured person’s pre-injury role.
We collaborate with case managers to establish the focus and objectives of our Medication Reviews so we can provide a customised report which is tailored to their specific needs. Our comprehensive reports, created in consultation with treating practitioners, feature targeted recommendations and straightforward titration plans, when necessary. We can also assist case managers and treating practitioners to implement our recommendations.
