  4. Safety Outcomes

  6. Jadad Score: Indicates potential for bias in study design 1-5 (most to least bias potential); higher score better.

  7. Summary Results • Favorable results (vs. comparative services group) • Therapeutic and Safety outcomes (p<0.05) • HbA1c • LDL cholesterol • Blood pressure • Adverse drug events • Humanistic outcomes – more variability – yet SOME favorable (p<0.05) • Medication adherence • Patient knowledge • Quality of Life – not so much…..

  8. On WebCT under readings – but not a required reading. Only content (general results) relevant for Concept Quiz.

  9. Summary Economic Effects Pharmacists • Most economic studies were flawed • e.g. partial cost analyses, weak study design • 126 met criteria for review • 15.9% (n=20) positive results • 42.1% (n=53) mixed results • 4.8% (n=6) no effect • 37.3% (n=47) unclear effect • Positive studies mostly involved technical or multi-model interventions

  10. Economic Outcomes Economic Evaluations of Clinical Pharmacy Services: 2001-2005 Perez et.al., Pharmacotherapy 2008;28:286e-323e
