Georgie Lee

Georgie Lee is a Research Fellow at The University of Western Australia's School of Allied Health, specializing in pharmacoepidemiology and medication safety research with a focus on aged care populations. Her work primarily centers on polypharmacy, Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme data analysis, and quality use of medicines in older adults.

Her research interests span pharmacoepidemiology, polypharmacy measurement and implications, health literacy in medication management, and the quality use of medicines in aged care settings. She investigates how medication regimens affect health outcomes in older populations, with particular attention to potentially inappropriate medications and regimen complexity in residential aged care facilities.

Lee's publication record demonstrates a strong focus on systematic reviews and cross-sectional studies examining medication patterns in older adults. Her work shows consistent themes in polypharmacy measurement, medication safety in aged care, and the application of inappropriate medication criteria within the Australian healthcare context. Recent publications indicate increasing focus on health literacy applications in cardiovascular disease prevention and refined methodologies for defining polypharmacy.

Her research has garnered significant attention with multiple publications receiving substantial citations, particularly her 2022 narrative review on suboptimal medicine regimens which has 34 Scopus citations. Her work has also been featured in media outlets, with notable coverage of her contributions to polypharmacy concepts and adverse effects.

Lee collaborates extensively with researchers including Etherton-Beer, Page, Hosking, and Pasco across multiple projects examining medication safety in aged populations. Her research has practical implications for healthcare policy and clinical practice in optimizing medication use for older Australians.
