Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamic Analysis To Optimize Dosage Regimens of Cefepime

Abstract

After each consultation, patients were asked to complete an evaluation and feedback questionnaire. Results: From December 2014 to December 2015, 185 consultations with 115 patients were carried out by 46 students. In total, 26 medication changes were made (i.e. start, dose adjustment, or stop), mainly concerning anti-hypertensive drugs. The feedback questionnaires of 115 consultations were returned (62%). Overall patient satisfaction was 8.43 (1-10, min-max). Quality of care indicators of 104 patients were retrieved and the cardiovascular risk of 97 patients (93.3%) was determined; it was 'high' in 47 patients (48.5%). Participating students and GPs were enthusiastic about the valuable learning opportunities and about the improved CVRM care the students delivered. Conclusions: Undergraduate medical students played a valuable role in improving patient care in this CVRM programme. This programme is mutually beneficial to all participants, providing a "winwin-win" situation.
