A retrospective observational population-based study to assess the prevalence and burden of illness of type 2 diabetes with an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 90 mL/min/1.73 m in Ontario, Canada.

Aim: To better understand the healthcare burden of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73 m in Ontario, Canada.

Materials And Methods: We used administrative data to evaluate the prevalence of T2D, eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.

MedIntegrate: Incorporating provincially funded community pharmacist services into an ambulatory internal medicine clinic to enhance medication reconciliation.

Background: Medication reconciliation (MR) is associated with reduced discrepancies and adverse events within institutions. In ambulatory care, MR is often considered more challenging due to periodic, brief patient encounters and the involvement of multiple prescribers who lack shared records. MedsCheck, a community pharmacy program in Ontario for patients with diabetes or those taking 3 or more medications, generates a best possible medication history (BPMH) that can serve as a starting point for MR.
