answer text <p>NHS Digital currently collects data on select indicators for safer prescribing, with the first phase focused on admissions related to gastrointestinal bleeding and acute kidney injury. These indicators link hospital admission to prescription data, and identify the population at risk of harm at a national, regional, or clinical commissioning group level for each given indicator. Data may be used by local teams to alter prescribing practice to lower the risk associated with prescriptions where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>Data are available publicly through the Medicine Safety Dashboard at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://apps.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/MOD/MedicationSafety/atlas.html" target="_blank">https://apps.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/MOD/MedicationSafety/atlas.html</a></p> more like this
