Interventions and documentation for drug-related problems in Dutch community pharmacies

Pharmaceutical care, European developments in concepts, implementation, teaching, and research: a review

“…In the Netherlands, pharmacies documented their activities as a result of prospective computerised medication review; 38% of all interventions resulting from computer generated alerts or other forms of professional assessments led to a change in the prescription or patient education activities. These interventions represented over 9% of all prescriptions dispensed 27 . Buurma et al found that 4.9% of prescriptions for prescription-only medicines (mean 14.3 per pharmacy per day) were modified in the Netherlands to prevent or correct drug-related problems 28 .…”

Drug-related problems in Parkinson’s disease: the role of community pharmacists in primary care

“…DRPs were coded according to the Problem Intervention Documentation (PIDoc) system [25,26]. The original PI-Doc system has two levels of classification (problem analysis and intervention recommendation) [1,9,25] whereby a code for a problemsolving intervention is allocated to each code for a DRP. The open hierarchical structure of the classification system made it possible to allocate DRPs to one of six predefined major problem categories: ADRs, drug interactions, inappropriate The modified version of the PI-Doc used in this study has a third level of classification that covers the intervention outcome: improving patient's status of health, increasing patient's safety and drug regimen adjustment [27].…”

“…The increasing awareness of DRPs and their detrimental effect on patients' health [6,7] has led to a number of studies of pharmaceutical care services [8][9][10][11]. However, although Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly population, very few such studies exist in this area [12].…”
