‘You get a different mindset’ – primary care physicians’ perceptions of interprofessional medication reviews for patients living independently

Physicians expressed a consistently positive view of medication reviews for independently living patients, highlighting their value for patient safety, clinical decision-making, and learning. However, practical barriers, such as time constraints and unclear routines, were seen as key obstacles to implementation. These findings reflect the dual nature of medication reviews as a value-creating intervention with logistical challenges, which need to be addressed to support broader integration in primary care.

Abstract

Physicians expressed a consistently positive view of medication reviews for independently living patients, highlighting their value for patient safety, clinical decision-making, and learning. However, practical barriers, such as time constraints and unclear routines, were seen as key obstacles to implementation. These findings reflect the dual nature of medication reviews as a value-creating intervention with logistical challenges, which need to be addressed to support broader integration in primary care.
