EmergeIRL Details
EMeRGe is an epidemiology research group led by Prof Kathleen Bennett at RCSI, Dublin.The main pillars of research within EMeRGe include: Safe and Quality Medicines Adherence Cancer epidemiology Other disease modelling Here at EMeRGe , our mission is: To improve population health outcomes through research evidence and to translate the evidence into effective decision making for policy and practice. In particular, to: promote safe, quality and effective medicines management and model disease epidemiology in cancer and cardiovascular disease.Our vision is to improve population health in medicines management through evidence-based research and translation. The likelihood of side effects of medicines, drug interactions and potentially inappropriate prescribing increase with the increasing number of medicines people take. Taking multiple medicines at the same time is common in people age 65 year olds or older with six in every ten in this age group. Also, around one in ten of those aged 65 years and older who take medicines are admitted to hospital due to the side effects of the medicines they take. Morbidity and mortality associated with taking medicines adds substantially to hospital admissions with high cost of health care. Improving information, understanding and allowing patients to take control of their own medicines use is essential.EMeRGe is funded by the HRB, using biostatical epidemiological methods to research and improve quality and safety of medication prescribing and use in Ireland. Our aim is to reduce inappropriate medication use and improve medication adherence, thus improving health outcomes in Irish populations.
