Letting patients take their own meds in the hospital
This trial studies whether letting patients take their own regular medicines by themselves during a hospital stay is safer than having nurses give them. It tests this in the rehabilitation unit at Valenciennes Hospital for patients who manage their own medicines at home and are staying at least a week.
