Identifying and solving adverse drug events (ADEs) and other drug-related problems (DRPs) post-discharge
Tidsramme: within 7 days post-discharge
|
The total number of assessed and solved ADEs post-discharge will be measured. Assessing and solving ADEs takes place during the pharmacist home visit. Using START-STOPP criteria on patients medication records, ADEs will also be compared between the intervention and usual care group. |

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Improvement of adherence to medication at hospital discharge
Tidsramme: up to 6 months after discharge
|
The "medication possession ratio" will be calculated retrospectively from pharmacy dispensing data after 6 months to investigate patient's adherence and compared between the intervention and control group.

Patient assessment of medication knowledge at time of home visit
Tidsramme: within 7 days after discharge
|
At time of the home visit patients are asked about their knowledge (e.g.
indication, dose regime, etc) regarding the medication they are taking.
Knowledge is scored and lack of knowledge is solved by teaching the patient.

Types of interventions made at the pharmacist home visit
Tidsramme: within 7 days after discharge
|
The types of intervention the pharmacist works on during the 7 day follow-up home visit are assessed.

Patient satisfaction with the pharmacist home visit
Tidsramme: Immediately after receiving the home visit
|
The satisfaction survey consists of 13 interview questions, where the subject subjectively scores each question on a four-point scale, developed specifically for this study.

Assessment of patient reported health rating
Tidsramme: at 14 days after discharge
|
Patient are asked by telephone to report their health on a scale from 1 (worst imaginable health) to 10 (best imaginable health).
Number are compared between the intervention and control group.
