What is AB1120-HPR Application of The Innovative Rheumatoid Arthritis Medication Assement Tool within A Pharmaceutical Care Model about?
Background: Pharmacists must adapt and evolve in order to face challenges and sustain the profession to continuously provide optimum personalised patient care to rheumatoid arthritis patients. Rheumatoid arthritis medication assessment tool, RhMAT is an innovative evidence-based instrument developed specifically to assess pharmacetherapy adherence to rheumatoid arthritis evidence-based guidelines and recommendations. Objectives: The objective of the study was to use the RhMAT within an outpatient rheumatology clinic to identify pharmaceutical care issues and assess therapeutic management of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods: Rheumatoid arthritis patients regularly attending the rheumatology clinic at Mater Dei Hospital eligible to participate in the study were offered a pharmaceutical care session. The pharmacist screened each patients' pharmacetherapy using the RhMAT at two time points, Phase 1 (time =0 months) and Phase 2 (time = approximately 12 months).The RhMAT adherence rate for each patient was calculated at both time points. A score of 50% of less was determined as low adherence, a score between 51% and 74% showed intermediate adherence and a score of 75% or more was d
