Brief Summary

30 patients acute hospitalized to medical ward and their medication records are examined. It is to be recorded how the investigators find information about medicine use by the reception when they do not follow the patient. The record of the changes made during hospital stay is examined, whether they are justified in the discharge summaries and whether they are described in the medical list. After a month is to find out if the GP has recorded or possibly rejected changes to medication made in hospital.
