Summary

This study evaluates the impact of community pharmacists' educational training on the nature and adequacy of counseling provided to patients on warfarin, an oral anticoagulant. Half of the community pharmacists participating in the study will receive a two-week educational training on how to adequately counsel patients on warfarin while the other half of community pharmacists will receive the same training after the study. A mystery patient model will be used in this intervention study where six different trained and standardized individuals will act as patients. Each of these mystery patients will supposedly have pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or atrial fibrillation. The mystery patient will visit each pharmacy to buy warfarin or complain about adverse drug reaction been experienced. It is expected that pharmacists will provide relevant information and counseling to these patients on the use of the medication warfarin and how to handle the adverse drug reactions.
