Identifying and solving adverse drug events (ADEs) and other drug-related problems (DRPs) post-discharge
Prazo: 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. |

Patient assessment of medication knowledge at time of home visit
Prazo: 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.
