---|---|
OAC
Patients on oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC) will receive a pharmacists led medication review with a focus on anticoagulation therapy (extended polymedication check)
|
Behavioral: Medication review Patients on oral anticoagulants and polypharmacy will receive extended polymedication check to identify Pharmaceutical Care Issues, Adherence Issues, Drug related problems and Knowledge Gaps The PMC has been implemented in 2010 as a new cognitive service provided by any community pharmacist to patient with polypharmacy (n>3 drugs) on long term conditions (> 3 months) and is reimbursed by swiss health insurance. The semi-structured interview contains questions about knowledge on oral anticoagulation therapy. This extended PMC follows a structured predefined protocol. As an outcome, pharmacist may install a compliance support e.g. weekly filled pill organizer. |
