Randomized Controlled Trial
Handling drug-related problems in rehabilitation patients: a randomized study.
Drug-related problems (DRPs) have been found to be associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health costs. ⋯ Involvement of a pharmacist in drug-therapy management, including participation in multidisciplinary team discussions, markedly improved the identification and resolution of DRPs during a hospital stay. The benefit persisted after discharge.
