“…of ADEs and a risk factor for hospital admissions. 5,24,25 The results of this study suggest that potential DDIs continue to be problematic even within a health care system with computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) and computerized alerts for interactions. Of particular concern in this analysis was the relatively high rate of veterans exposed to the interaction involving SSRIs and MAOIs.…”

Objective. To implement a long-term continuing education course for pharmacy practitioners to acquire competency in and accreditation for conducting collaborative comprehensive medication reviews (CMRs). Design. A 1½-year curriculum for practicing pharmacists that combined distance learning (using e-learning tools) and face-to-face learning was created. The training consisted of 5 modules: (1) Multidisciplinary Collaboration; (2) Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacotherapy; (3) Rational Pharmacotherapy; (4) CMR Tools; and (5) Optional Studies. Assessment. The curriculum and participants' learning were evaluated using essays and learning diaries. At the end of the course, students submitted portfolios and completed an Internet-based survey instrument. Almost all respondents (92%) indicated their educational needs had been met by the course and 68% indicated they would conduct CMRs in their practice. The most important factors facilitating learning were working with peers and in small groups. Factors preventing learning were mostly related to time constraints. Conclusion. Comprehensive medication review competencies were established by a 1½-year continuing education curriculum that combined different teaching methods and experiential learning. Peer support was greatly appreciated as a facilitator of learning by course participants.

“…PDUR will detect only drug-drug interactions (DDIs) or therapy dosage or duration problems that have been programmed into the software, which requires regular updates. 12 Additionally, even the most current PDUR program cannot identify pharmacotherapy problems associated with diet, lifestyle, over-the-counter (OTC) medication use, and barriers associated with patient adherence with critical medications.…”

• Interventions that involve collaboration among patients, physicians, and/or pharmacists have been significantly associated with improvements in medication adherence, persistence, and attainment of clinical goals for specific disease states, as well as reductions in the number of medications or the number of highrisk drugs or drug combinations in a patient's regimen. • The 2009 National Committee for Quality Assurance physician metric for medication review among older adults specifies that "counseling about medication" be performed but does not provide guidance about how counseling should be performed, and no clear consensus has emerged regarding the best tools and methods for conducting reviews. What is already known about this subject Results from a Mailed Promotion of Medication Reviews Among Department of Defense BeneficiariesReceiving 10 ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Like many payers, the Department of Defense (DoD) has limited ability to work directly with prescribers to ensure appropriate medication use. Many older beneficiaries are prescribed multiple maintenance medications, placing them at higher risk for adverse drug interactions, contraindicated medication use, and other polypharmacy-related problems. Medication reviews may mitigate these risks, but the optimal venue for medication therapy management is unclear.
