No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study will be carried out during pharmacist-conducted medication reconciliation. The pharmacist will ask how the patient has been taking the prescribed medicines and whether any over-the-counter medicines and food supplements have been used for self-medication. The data will be analyzed for descriptive statistics to identify 1) the number of discrepancies between the physician's prescription orders and the patient's self-reported use of the medicines, 2) what kind of discrepancies there are, and 3) which of them negatively influence patients' medicine taking.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Medication reconciliation

A pharmacist will go through all medicines physicians have prescribed, over-the-counter medicines (OTC) and food supplements one by one to assess the actual medicine used by the patient. If a pharmacist identifies medication discrepancies between physician's prescriptions and patient's self-reported use of medicine during the medication reconciliation, she/he will find out the patients' reasons for adjusting the medication.
