Table 2. Distribution of time for all tasks.

Category	Observed time (h)	Percentage of TOT	Sub-category	Work task	Task time (h)	Proportion of TOT (95% CI)	Proportion of intervention specific task time (95% CI)
RCT	93.3	85.5	Intervention (55.3 h)	Medication review	34.9	32.0 (28.4–36.8)	63.2 (55.3–71.4)
				Discharge medication list	10.5	9.6 (7.7–11.9)	19.0 (15.1–23.2)
				Medication reconciliation	7.4	6.7 (5.2–8.7)	13.3 (10.0–17.0)
				Discharge intervention	2.2	2.0 (1.2–3.0)	3.9 (2.3–5.8)
				Counselling	0.3	0.3 (0.1–0.7)	0.6 (0.1–1.2)
			Administration (38.0h)	Registration/organization	25.9	23.7 (20.8–27.4)	n/a
				Map patient flow	5.6	5.1 (4.2–6.4)	n/a
				Inclusion RCT	4.9	4.5 (3.6–5.6)	n/a
				Information RCT	1.6	1.5 (0.8–2.6)	n/a
Non-RCT	10.6	9.7		Other	9.4	8.6 (5.8–12.9)	n/a
				Clinical, non-study related	1.2	1.1 (0.6–1.6)	n/a
Social/breaks	6.3	5.8		Social/breaks	6.3	5.8 (4.7–7.3)	n/a

Tasks are presented as proportions of total observational time (TOT) and intervention tasks are also specified as proportions of RCT-intervention task time.

h = hours, CI = confidence interval.
