Abstract
The 76-year-old home-care patient goes to the pharmacy located in Alfaz del Pi (Alicante) to pick up his medication. During the act of dispensing and after observing the extensive pharmacotherapy, pharmacist offered him to be part of the Personalized Dosing System Service (SPD).
During the 11 months that the home-care patient is part of the Service, the doctor modifies the treatment 38 times. With the help of the SPD, the home-care patient has increased adherence to his extensive polypharmacy and consequently has improved his quality of life and decreased the number of daily tablets.
With the participation of the pharmacist in the Health System through the SPD, it is possible, on the one hand, to avoid possible problems related to the medication, avoid the negative results associated with it, improve the patient's health by increasing adherence to treatments and consequently suppose an economic saving to the National Health.
