NCT ID: NCT03972163 Active, not recruiting - Palliative Care Clinical Trials

Standardized Patient-Centered Medication Review in Home Hospice

SPECTORx
Start date: January 15, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a pilot cluster randomized trial that tests the effect of a novel intervention that trains hospice staff to 1. regularly review, simplify, and align patients' prescribed medications with their goals of care as their illness progresses, and 2. support family caregivers with education that empowers them to understand each medication's use, develop skills for safe administration, and 3. understand when stopping medications may be beneficial.

NCT ID: NCT00122122 Completed - Geriatrics Clinical Trials

Randomized Controlled Trial of Enhanced Pharmacy Care in Older Veteran Outpatients

Start date: n/a
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Complications resulting from medications, or adverse drug events (ADEs), are prevalent and are a major source of excess morbidity and costs. ADEs are particularly problematic in older patients because of their higher burden of comorbidity and diminished physiologic reserve. In addition, older patients are more likely to be exposed to polypharmacy, a major risk factor for ADEs. While ADEs may be idiosyncratic, many result from medical errors and inadequate systems for ensuring the safe and effective use of medications. The goal of the proposed study is to test the efficacy of a potentially potent intervention to improve the use of medications in older outpatients enrolled in VA primary care clinics. The intervention-Enhanced Pharmacy Care-involves a formal, multi-dimensional evaluation of patients� medication regimens by a trained clinical pharmacist and board-certified geriatrician.
