Juhl MH, Soerensen AL, Vardinghus-Nielsen H, et al. JMIR Form Res. 2024;8:e54977. Residents of nursing homes (NH) often require multiple medications to treat their chronic conditions. This article describes the co-creation of an intervention to improve medication safety in Danish nursing homes. Unlicensed healthcare personnel who administer the medication (social and healthcare assistants and helpers) and relatives representing NH residents contributed to the design of the intervention. The Safe Medication in Nursing Home Residents (SAME) intervention includes materials to define key roles and responsibilities for healthcare professionals and "medication safety reflexive spaces," a series of facilitated sessions.
