CLEO: a multidimensional tool to assess clinical, economic and organisational impacts of pharmacists' interventions.

Objectives: Clinical pharmacists' interventions (PIs) are an important element in ensuring good pharmaceutical care. We aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive multidimensional tool for assessing the potential impact of PIs for daily practice of medication review.

Methods: Experts of the French Society of Clinical Pharmacy (SFPC) developed the CLinical, Economic and Organisational (CLEO) tool, consisting of three independent dimensions concerning clinical, economic and organisational impact.

Tools for Assessing Potential Significance of Pharmacist Interventions: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Assessing the significance of pharmacist interventions (PIs) is essential to demonstrate the added value of pharmacists. Methods and tools for assessing the potential significance of PIs are diverse and their properties are questionable.

Objectives: We aimed to systematically review the tools available to assess the potential significance of PIs.

Assessment of clinical pharmacists' interventions in French hospitals: results of a multicenter study.

Background: The development of clinical pharmacy activities in most European countries is underway; however, data on these activities are still poorly reported. Multicenter studies are necessary to standardize and demonstrate the value of clinical pharmacy activities in these countries.

Objective: To document clinical pharmacists' daily routine interventions (PIs) to identify trends of intervention, drugs, and situations most frequently associated with drug-related problems (DRPs) and to estimate physicians' acceptance of PI.

[Factors to consider in managing drug interactions in clinical practice].

The huge number of drug interactions makes it impossible to memorize them all. Detecting them and preventing adverse effects requires the use of reference works or databases. There are numerous discordances between the so-called "reference" books and databases.

Validation of an instrument for the documentation of clinical pharmacists' interventions.

Objective: To validate an instrument for documentation of clinical pharmacy interventions in French speaking hospitals in France and outside of France.

Method: A panel of 12 French speaking clinical pharmacists (six from France; six from French speaking countries) was asked to analyse a set of 60 pharmacist's interventions on drug prescription. They used a form including (1) the identification of the drug related problems (DRPs) (10 items), (2) the pharmacist's intervention (7 items).
