Optimising drug prescribing and dispensing in subjects at risk for drug errors due to renal impairment: improving drug safety in primary healthcare by low eGFR alerts

Abstract

The introduction of automatic eGFR-alerts identified a considerable number of subjects who are at risk for ADEs due to renal impairment in an ambulatory setting. The nationwide implementation of this simple protocol could identify many potential ADEs, thereby substantially reducing iatrogenic complications in subjects with impaired renal function.
