Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of maximal support of community pharmacies to implement a pharmaceutical care model for improving underprescription and treatment persistence regarding lipid-lowering medication in patients with cardiovascular disease
Detailed Description:
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in large parts of the world Next to life style changes pharmaceutical treatment is a keystone in the treatment of cardiovascular disease Despite the strong evidence for the effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy less than half of the people eligible are treated With specific medication searches in the community pharmacy database an easy tool for detecting patients who are undertreated is available Based on this tool a pharmaceutical care model for improving underprescription and treatment persistence regarding lipid-lowering medication in patients with cardiovascular disease was constructed
Moreover it is not known yet how to implement this pharmaceutical care model in community pharmacies effectively With multifaceted interventions the behaviour of health professionals can be changed In this study the effectiveness of a maximal support strategy including interactive educational meetings reminders audit and feedback is compared to a minimal implementation strategy
