The evaluation of the National Medicines Optimisation in Care Homes (MOCH) programme demonstrated significant improvements in medication management, including reduced doses, discontinuation of unnecessary medications, and decreased use of drowsiness-inducing drugs, leading to better patient outcomes and satisfaction. Additionally, the programme enhanced care home medicine ordering systems, resulting in time savings, reduced waste, and a notable cost reduction of £152,000, though it also revealed variability in network collaborations and responses to COVID-19.
