Abstract

Since 2022 patients with 5 or more medicines can receive a medication review (MR) in a community pharmacy remunerated by the German health system. However, implementation is slow, and few pharmacies are currently providing MRs. Stakeholders' input is necessary to generate and prioritise mechanisms of change through which a successful implementation strategy will achieve implementation outcomes.
