Summary

Patients in the surgery ward are at risk of morbidity and mortality from various types of treatment-related problems (TRPs). The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of the clinical pharmacist in the identification and management of TRPs in the surgery ward.

Detailed description

Patients were randomly assigned to intervention (n=50) and usual care (n=50) arms. The clinical pharmacist assessed the types, frequencies, and clinical significance of TRPs for all recruited patients at baseline. Patients and treating surgeons in the intervention arm received recommendations concerning the identified TRPs, while the usual care arm did not. The number of TRPs was reevaluated at follow-up.
