About this study

Official title: Integration of Clinical Pharmacy Along the Entire Care Pathway of Patients Implanted with a PICC-line

Clinical pharmacy is a patient-centered discipline and improves significantly the safety of drug management. Regarding medications, clinical pharmacy is efficient. The investigator hypothesize that clinical pharmacy applied to medical devices could be as effective as in the medication field.

The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of clinical pharmacy activities during entire care pathways of patients implanted with a PICC line, in preventing complications.

Read the detailed description

This is a preliminary, before-after, monocentric and prospective study. The study will begin with an observational period and will be followed by an experimental intervention period. Sixty-nine adult patients in each period will be included. During the observational phase, no clinical pharmacy activities will be performed. During the interventional phase, clinical pharmacists will be active during the entire patients' care pathways.

What participants receive

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

  • Clinical pharmacy activities along the care pathwaysOther

    PICC line implantation: Optimize the logistics circuit of the PICC line by rationalizing orders through the evaluation of potential losses.

    Ensure the due traceability of the implanted medical device. Discharge order : Analysis, optimization and pharmaceutical interventions if necessary Discharge Pharmaceutical Interview : Discussion with the patient, Information about the PICC line maintenance and associated therapies, Information about the prescribed drugs.

    Call to the community pharmacist to transfer the patient's prescription. Follow-up calls for 3 months after discharge

    • Patients: Two calls the first week after implantation, then one call per month for a maximum of 3 months, Clinical data collection :Pharmaceutical advices if necessary
    • Liberal nurses: same frequency, Clinical data collection, Pharmaceutical advices if necessary
    • Community pharmacist: one call per month, information relevant to the patient's follow-up will be collected.
