| Popis: | Objective To improve an adherence documentation tool utilised by Australian Clinical Pharmacists in hospitals. Method Surveys and a focus group session were methods employed to study the perceptions of clinical pharmacists and medical officers on the ‘Medication Management Plan (MedMAP)’ as an adherence documentation tool and the perceived limitations, if any, of the form. Key findings The MedMAP had limitations which could potentially affect patient care in hospitals. The modified form was successfully trialled over a period of two weeks with favourable results. Conclusion The study identified the shortcomings of the MedMAP form and further underlined the importance of continual auditing of pivotal adherence documentation tools in hospital. |
