Table A1.
Complexity Level | Factors |
---|---|
Level 1—low | The task (e.g., medication assessment, focused drug question) is clear (well defined). All patient-related factors are present and easily interpreted. |
Level 2—moderate | The task referred to the pharmacist is unclear or not well defined. The pharmacist has to collect initial information before clearly defining the task. The patient is taking multiple medications and has multiple medical conditions requiring drug therapy. The clinical knowledge/skill required to address the task is complex. The DTPs identified are complex. |
Level 3—high | Both the case scenario and the clinical knowledge are complex and ill-defined and multiple DTPs that are codependent are present. |
