| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: Medication review by a clinical pharmacist improves quality use of medicines in patients by identifying, reducing and preventing drug related problems and hospital re-admissions. This service is new to Sri Lanka. We present two cases from a non-randomized controlled trial conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka. The first case is from the control group where no clinical pharmacist was engaged and the next case is from the intervention group. The first case was a drug related hospital re-admission because of missing medicines in the discharge prescription and the second case was a re-admission which was prevented by the intervention of a ward pharmacist by performing a clinical medication review of the prescription. | en_US |
