Where this comes from

Abstract

The Better Medication Management System (BMMS) is an Australian project to provide electronic access to patient medication records. It aims to improve access to patient medication information and to reduce adverse drug events and hospital admissions. Evidence supporting the achievability of the BMMS aims is limited. Voluntary participation of patients in the BMMS may limit its ability to achieve its aims and capitalise on its potential benefits.
