Summary

Clinical pharmacy services aim to enhance patient outcomes and reduce the risk of potential drug-related harm by offering patient-centred pharmaceutical care. In the hospital setting, clinical pharmacists collaborate with physicians as part of a multidisciplinary team to identify and prevent DRPs (Drug-related problems). Clinical pharmacist interventions encompass 'any action initiated by a pharmacist that directly results in patient management or a modification in medication.' The favourable clinical and economic impacts of interventions have been well-established for decades. Clinical pharmacists have played an important role in ensuring the effective and correct use of medicines in many settings.

This study aims to investigate the clinical pharmacy services provided by clinical pharmacists to patients receiving antithrombotic therapy. For this study, patients were divided into two groups: a control group and an intervention group. A comprehensive medication review will be conducted by the clinical pharmacist for both the control and intervention groups. Drug-related problems such as drug selection, dose errors, possible drug-drug interactions, and inappropriate drug use, will be identified. In the control group, no interventions will be made by the clinical pharmacist. In the intervention group, solution recommendations for identified and clinically significant issues will be presented to the physician, and the provided services will be documented. Furthermore, the groups will be evaluated for whether there are any hospital readmissions within 1 and 3 months following discharge for the patients.
