Abstract:What is already known about this subject?
• There is conflicting evidence concerning the potential benefits of pharmacist‐led medication review.
• Little work has been published on the completeness of medication reviews provided by community pharmacists.
What this study adds
• The 60 community pharmacists taking part in a large randomized controlled trial showed considerable variation in the completeness of the reviews they recorded for intervention patients.
• Overall, pharmacists recorded only a minority … Show more
“…Recent studies indicated that pharmacist-conducted medication review and home visits are potentially beneficial [3,[8][9][10][11][12] but some randomised controlled trials failed to prove effectiveness [13][14][15][16]. It remains an open question if for particular diseases, tailored medication reviews by specifically trained pharmacists are needed.…”
Visiting Tx and DM patients in their homes allowed the identification of a wide range of opportunities for pharmaceutical care as well as specific DRPs which most probably would have escaped a medication review in the pharmacy.

“…It is thus about the evaluation of professional practices. Generally speaking, the study of the performance of the pharmacist suffers from a deficit of research [62]. Rare are the studies of the performance of the pharmacist within the framework of the analysis of drug prescriptions.…”

“…Rares sont les études de la performance du pharmacien dans le cadre de l'analyse des prescriptions. La plupart, étrangères, concernent l'exercice officinal à l'exception d'une seule [62][63][64][65][66]. Une d'entre elle a mis en évidence que la fréquence d'intervention pouvait varier d'un facteur un à dix d'un pharmacien à l'autre [64].…”
