Brief Summary:
This study aims to assess the effects of Pharmacist-led medication reconciliation on hospitalized elderly patients aged above 65 at a leading tertiary military hospital in Jordan.
Detailed Description:
A four-month randomized controlled trial was conducted at King Hussein Medical Hospital (KHMH), one of the Royal Military Medical Services (RMS) tertiary hospitals located in central Amman. During the study period, 128 patients were selected using convenience sampling. Later, medication histories were compared between pre-admission and admission records to obtain the Best Possible Medication History (BPMH) and identify medication discrepancies, which were categorized as either intentional (documentation errors) or unintentional discrepancies.
The already selected patients were randomly allocated into two groups (intervention and control groups). Then, Pharmacist-led medication reconciliation services were provided to the intervention group and standard care was provided to the control group. Also at discharge the number of medication discrepancies was documented. Linear regression analysis was performed to assess risk factors associated with the occurrence of unintentional discrepancies.
Within 30 days post-discharge, patients were assessed for any hospital re-admissions, emergency department visits and medication-related side effects.
