Medication risk management and health equity in New Zealand general practice: a retrospective cross-sectional study.
Sharon LeitchJiaxu ZengAlesha SmithTim StokesPublished in: International journal for equity in health (2021)
This analysis of data arising from a general practice electronic alert system in New Zealand found clinicians typically took action on those alerts. However, clinicians appear to take less action for women and Māori and Pasifika patients. Use of a targeted alert system has the potential to mitigate risk from medication-related harm. Recognising clinician biases may improve the equitability of health care provision.
