Medication Reviews in Severe Mental Illness

This study aims to investigate the potential beneficial effects of a medication review by a clinical pharmacologist on patients with coexisting severe mental illness and diabetes. The study is an intervention study in which an intervention group is assigned to the medication review whereas a control group is not. Both groups are tested using an extensive test battery at baseline and 6 months after inclusion. Furthermore a qualitative data assessment will be undertaken using interviews and/or surveys in order to show any obstacles in implementing the intervention. This is relevant as medication reviews, performed by clinical pharmacologists as well as pharmacists, are not always implemented by the primary physician. The economic impact of the medication review will furthermore be assessed.
