@article { , title = {Just a 'romantic idea'? A theory-based interview study on medication review implementation with pharmacy owners.}, abstract = {Recent legal changes in Germany entitle patients on multiple medications to receive a medication review (MR). However, the provision of MRs is not mandatory and pharmacy owners decide whether to implement this service in their pharmacies. The aim of this study was to determine pharmacy owners' attitudes towards MRs, explore their experiences with MR implementation and examine their perceptions of barriers and facilitators towards implementation of MRs in community pharmacies. Pharmacy owners were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was used with selection criteria being MR-implementation stage, and geographical location of the pharmacy. The topic guide was based on a systematic review and the Framework for Implementation of Services in Pharmacy (FISpH). Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and coded directly against the FISpH. Twenty-one pharmacy owners were interviewed. Despite participants' consistent positive attitude towards MRs, most believed that providing MRs on an economically viable basis would be challenging. Several practical suggestions emerged which would enable community pharmacies a smoother implementation of MRs. Suggestions included employing ‘change facilitators', who visit and support implementing pharmacies; national awareness campaigns targeting patients and health professionals; reducing bureaucracy; continuing professional development; involving technicians in some MR-tasks; and offering an additional incentive to lower the initial implementation threshold. This research identified numerous factors that are likely to increase owners' and managers' support to the idea of MRs. This may be of interest to any country planning implementation of MRs.}, doi = {10.1007/s11096-022-01524-2}, eissn = {2210-7711}, issn = {2210-7703}, issue = {2}, journal = {International journal of clinical pharmacy}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (Now published, checked and updated 2/5/2023 LM; added via ingest 23.01.2023 GB) PERMISSION GRANTED (published under CC BY 23.01.2023 GB) DOCUMENT READY (Final VOR downloaded 2/5/2023 LM; downloaded online first VOR; may need to replace with updated version once final citation details etc. added 23.01.2023 GB) ADDITIONAL INFO: Antonella Tonna; Dorothee Michel A Publisher correction to was published on 15.03.2023, due to an incorrect affiliation for Antonella Tonna, this has now been corrected on the original file.
