Does pharmacist-supervised intervention through pharmaceutical care program influence direct healthcare cost burden of newly diagnosed diabetics in a tertiary care teaching hospital in Nepal: a non-clinical randomised controlled trial approach

Abstract: Background: Cost is a vital component for people with chronic diseases as treatment is expected to be long or even lifelong in some diseases. Pharmacist contributions in decreasing the healthcare cost burden of chronic patients are not well described due to lack of sufficient evidences worldwide. In developing countries like Nepal, the estimation of direct healthcare cost burden among newly diagnosed diabetics is still a challenge for healthcare professionals, and pharmacist role in patient care is still theor… Show more

“…EU MS will be able to use common HTA tools, methodologies and procedures across the EU, working together in four sections: 1) on joint clinical assessments focusing on the most innovative health technologies with the most potential impact for patients; 2) on joint scientific consultations whereby developers can seek advice from HTA authorities; 3) on identification of emerging health technologies to identify promising technologies early; and 4) on continuing voluntary cooperation in other areas. Finally, with real-world evidence (RWE) Pharmaceutical Sciences deals with accelerated drug research, and pharmacoeconomic studies are providing a strategic framework for pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical policy [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

“…[ 22 ] Ten patients were excluded from the study because they did not complete their follow-ups and hence further study was carried out with 152 patients (CG [ n = 50], T1G [ n = 51], and T2G [ n = 51]). [ 15 23 ]…”

“…The aim to use the diabetic kit only in T2G patients was to identify any significant change in patients’ weighted impact scores (WISs) and average weighted impact scores (AWISs) (indicating HRQoL) between T1G and T2G due to this extra demonstration of diabetic kit. [ 15 23 ]…”

“…88 The pharmacist contribution in minimizing direct healthcare cost burden in patients with diabetes was described. 89 An average costs for inpatient hospitalization and ED admissions were significantly higher in the preintervention period than in the post-intervention period for patients with DM as the primary or secondary diagnosis ($2434 versus $636) respectively, which indicates, pharmacist interventions under a collaborative drug therapy agreement provided a great reduction in costs for inpatient hospitalization and ED services. 90 Pharmacists had served as a resource to other health care providers and payers to assure safe, appropriate, cost-effective diabetes medication use.…”
