The secondary objectives are:
- to assess the number of changes of medicines between the patient's admission and discharge from hospital (acute geriatric care unit);
- to evaluate the number of inappropriate medicines in patient's treatment at hospital admission (in acute geriatric care unit) and one month after the discharge from hospital;
- to evaluate the number of failures found in the transmission of information between the hospital and the general practitioner/pharmacy one month after the patient's discharge from hospital (acute geriatric care unit).
