Pharmaceutical care plan, mostly based on the RASP

Drug use of subjects enrolled in this arm will be systematically evaluated by a clinical pharmacist, using the RASP list. Potentially inappropriate drug use will be pointed out to the treating physician. The pharmaceutical advice is not limited to the RASP list. Any actual change in drug prescription will be decided by the treating physician based upon comprehensive medical evaluations in each individual patient.
