About this study

Official title: APHID- Sensitivity and Specificity of a Medication Reconciliation Technology - A Primary Care Randomized Controlled Trial

We are studying patients' abilities to correctly identify the prescription medications they are taking. We are interested in understanding what tools will help patients correctly identify their medications. People participating in this study will be asked to either review a paper printout of their medication list or a computer program with their medications. The program will show the names and pictures of the medications. In either situation, participants will be asked to indicate if they are taking the medications as prescribed. We will then compare reported adherence between each medication review process. Participation may help the program developers improve the product.

Read the detailed description

The trial compares a paper-based medication adherence questionnaire to an electronic medication adherence questionnaire. Results from each arm will be compared to the ambulatory medication list on file with the clinic and a separate medication review interview conducted by a trained clinician. We intend to compare adherence patterns and medication use discrepancy rates between each approach. This data will help us to determine what strategies work best to solicit an accurate medication history from the patient.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Medication review software with picturesOther

    The intervention is a self-service software program that displays each prescription on screen along with an image of the pharmaceutical product. Patients must use response buttons to describe adherence patterns and to advance through the questionnaire items.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of medication discrepancies from the reference standard (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02135731, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
