| Methods Development of DEPICT tool The first version of DEPICT was developed after the performance of an overview of systematic reviews published in PubMed between 2000 and 2010 addressing the impact of clinical pharmacy services whether on indicators of the medication use process or patient health outcomes (economic, clinical or humanistic), and extraction of all components that best described the pharmacist«s interventions performed. The components were then grouped in domains according their similarity, resulting in the DEPICT tool version #1 (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy.2013;11;47(7-8): 946Ð52). After the experience acquired with the application of DEPICT to studies describing pharmacist«s interventions in the management of patients with chronic kidney disease, a need to create an improved version of the instrument arose. In that study, the authors identified several gaps with some interventions that were specific of this setting not being appropriately reflected on the instrument (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy.2013;47(11):1498-506). For the development of this improved version, a qualitative analysis of the description of pharmacist interventions contained in the randomized controlled trials included in the systematic reviews retrieved in the overview process that served as the basis for the creation of DEPICT 1 was performed. The components extracted were coded and ordered by thematic similarity. This process resulted in the addition of more items to the original instrument and subdivision of others to better describe the components of the interventions performed as part of clinical pharmacy services (J Eval Clin Pract. 2015 Feb 12. doi: 10.1111/jep.12339). |
