Karen Riley, clinical pharmacist at Hogan Pharmacy in Sarnia, Ontario, and her team will compare the average number of potential drug-related problems that are flagged when community pharmacists use electronic screening tools (ESTs) during medication reviews (MRs) versus usual practices. The goal is to determine whether an EST can improve not only the quality of pharmacist-led MRs, but also the efficiency. The study will also collect data to determine if an EST saves pharmacist’s time completing a medication review and whether it could also be a potential educational tool to easily identify drug-related problems.
