University Pharmacy Clinic: Preventing Errors and Enhancing Lives Through Expert Medication Management.

The University of Otago School of Pharmacy Clinic serves as a model for innovative medication management, tackling critical medication-related problems (MRPs) to enhance patient outcomes and advance pharmacy education. This study evaluated the clinic's impact, examining 456 patient consultations over four years, with a focus on MRPs such as dosing errors, non-adherence, and inadequate monitoring. Using the DOCUMENT classification system, pharmacists identified 754 MRPs and issued 836 recommendations, primarily related to medication adjustments and monitoring.
