Antithrombotic Questionnaire Tool for Evaluation of Combined Antithrombotic Therapy in Community Pharmacies.

Objective: The objective of this paper is to assess the diagnostic value of an antithrombotic questionnaire tool compared with the hospital's medical record information tool. The hypothesis of this study was that the antithrombotic questionnaire tool could identify patients with potentially incorrect antithrombotic therapy.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in eight community pharmacies in the Netherlands.

A quality improvement study on the effect of electronic transmission of a basic discharge medication report on medication discrepancies in patients discharged from the hospital.

Background: Medication discrepancies can occur in transitions of care because of a lack of communication between hospitals and community pharmacies. These discrepancies can lead to preventable adverse drug events (ADEs).

Aim: To investigate the effect of electronic transmission of the basic discharge medication report on unintentional medication discrepancies observed between this report and the 28-day post-discharge status in the community pharmacy.
