Evaluating the Effectiveness of Risk Categories for Prioritising Patients for Best Possible Medication History Completion at a Quaternary Hospital
This study found that nearly two-thirds of patients were urgent or high risk, affecting the completion timeframes. The study's findings, including four key recommendations, will update the PWPWI. Regular evaluations of such tools are suggested to adapt to changes in clinical care and local context. Following the update, the pharmacy department will receive training to optimise BPMH prioritisation.
