Contemporary Medical Practice: Beset by Knowledge Failures
• Medication Adverse Events– Found in 2%-3% of all patients on admission to hospital – Found in 1.3% of patients during their stay in hospital– 50-80% preventable
• Reasons– Unawareness of best-practice recommendations– Difficulties in accessing the patient’s medical record– Failure to alter drug therapy in the face of altered physiology– Disregarding a patient history of allergy to the same medication class– Prescribing the wrong drug name, wrong dose form or
abbreviation– Inadequate monitoring or follow-up– Discontinuity of pre-hospital and post-hospital medications– Poor communication with the patient &/or members of health

Monash University has not paid sufficientattention to the regional and expertise-relatedstrengths of its campuses – especiallyIts non-Clayton campuses.
Clayton – is close to the hub of Victoria’s manufacturing region Gippsland - is in the heart of the LaTrobe Valley
Peninsula – well located to study the health impacts of ageing and social disadvantage
Not just a Cross–Disciplinary Approach; a Cross-Campus one
