Donors like you are fueling family doctors to provide better care
Adults with complex health issues are taking more drugs, and with that comes more side effects. This becomes dangerous for older adults as risks of dizziness, falls and confusion increase as people age.
Dr. Mathew Grandy is leading a team of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, healthcare professionals and patients as they explore electronic medical records across family practices to uncover issues in care. This research is part of a broader network spanning five provinces.
Implementing the SPIDER method (Structured Process Informed by Data, Evidence and Research), the team has a goal to reduce and improve the medications patients are taking to support better health.
Through this vital work, Dr. Grandy and his team will help Atlantic Canadians meet their goals for quality of life.
