In Phase B, the aim is to evaluate the myCare Start service in routine care within the ambulatory primary care medicine and community pharmacy setting in Switzerland. A Type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness (improvement in adherence), cost-effectiveness and implementation of the service. This evaluation will allow us to build the necessary contextual relevant evidence base to support sustainable funding of the service in the long term.
