Implementing a clinical pharmacy intervention for older adult inpatients with chronic non-cancer pain: a feasibility study
The present feasibility study showed that implementing a clinical pharmacy intervention for older adult inpatients was indeed feasible. However, the recruitment rates were relatively low, and dropout rates were relatively high. Using a standardised approach involving a trigger tool showed promising results for detecting medication-related problems. These are important first indicators that including pharmacists more closely in standard care could be beneficial to CNCP patients.
