Clinical research and knowledge transfer unit on childhood asthma (CRUCA)

Establishing a Medication Data Registry (REMED)

The objective of the project is to build a database containing information on medication prescribed to individuals and dispensed by community pharmacies for people with private drug insurance. Eventually, this registry will evaluate the impact of the quality of the prescription and the adherence of patients and their families to treatment prescribed. The purpose is to improve health care services and the treatment of pediatric asthma by identifying the most critical needs in clinical research and knowledge transfer.
