PRESS RELEASE

Medical errors during hospital stays make headlines, but far more common are problems that occur after patients — especially older ones – go home. Dennis Tsilimingras, M.D., M.P.H., Director, Center on Patient Safety and Assistant Professor of Family Medicine & Rural Health at the Florida State University College of Medicine, has been awarded a two-year, $908,000 grant from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. 
With the participation of the Tallahassee Memorial Hospitalist Group, this study will monitor approximately 600 patients – half of them rural – for three weeks right after they’re discharged. “Ultimately the goal is to recommend ways to reduce post-discharge problems, which often involve medications,” said Dr. Tsilimingras.
