The study measured the impact on an MUR in a group of elderly (over 65 years) care home residents. The review was undertaken by the pharmacist, who had access to the patient’s clinical records. A recommendation for medication change was given to the GP for implementation and approval. Control patients received review by their GP only.
The reviews lead to a significant change in the patients’ medications without a change in costs.
