Abstract

Comprehensive Medication Management was provided to a 78-year-old woman. Medical history: deep vein thrombosis, hip fracture, hydrocephalus, arthrosis, arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. She was taking 12 medications. 

Patient’s medication-related needs were evaluated integrating biomedical and psychosocial aspects, through a clinical analysis, which allowed the detection of 7 medication-related needs. Complementary analysis of narratives extracted from in-depth interviews allowed detection of 5 additional medication-related needs. 

Using in-depth interviews to interrelate qualitative aspects of personal experience when evaluating pharmacotherapy, allowed to propose biopsychosocial interventions adapted to the comprehensive resolution of medication-related needs, collected in a care plan. Included a medical report with 4 recommendations whereby 2 were accepted by the primary care physician. Another 4 medication-related needs were proposed and accepted by the patient and her caregiver, achieving the resolution of 8 medication-related needs.
