Zusammenfassung / Abstract

The present study aimed at evaluating the integration of the pharmacist in cancer care. Additionally to the focus on patient-related outcomes and process parameters, profound knowledge about the multiprofessional collaboration and task provision is important to enable an efficient provision of pharmaceutical care for the benefit of the patient.

The present study showed that the integration of the pharmacist into the health care team can further facilitate the detection and solution of DRPs going along with higher patient recognition and valuation of the pharmacist as an information source. The proposed MCMM model established the pharmacist’s responsibilities in patient education and counseling as well as prevention of drug-related problems and might serve as a tool to trigger local changes in cancer medication management regarding the allocation and completion of necessary tasks in the multiprofessional team.
