Bivariate associations of intervention with patient-centered care, communication, and medication changes
| Outcome | Intervention N=64a | Control N=64b | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patient Outcomes | |||
| PACIC >10, % | 29.7 | 15.6 | .057 |
| Active participation, meana | 5.6 | 2.7 | .0011 |
| Medication-related communication, meana | 7.5 | 3.6 | .0003 |
| Number of medications at 90 days, mean | 13.3 | 13.8 | .65 |
| Proportion of medication reconciliation errors corrected, %b | 48.4 | 14.3 | <.001 |
| 1+ TRIM recommendations implemented, %b | 29.7 | 21.9 | .42 |
| Clinician Outcomes | |||
| Facilitative communication, meana | 1.53 | 0.67 | .023 |
| Medication-related communication, (mean)a | 7.3 | 4.6 | .0025 |
| Recommendation(s), %a | 63.6 | 32.8 | .0008 |
Because 9 audiofiles were of insufficient quality for analysis, N=55 for outcomes of active participation, medication-related communication, and facilitative communication.
Because only one-half of the control group had medication appropriateness examined by TRIM, N=32 for outcomes of proportion of medication reconciliation errors corrected and 1+ TRIM recommendations implemented.
