This study aimed to test the implementation (feasibility, acceptability, and adoption) of the PRIME tool amongst people with memory problems and their carers (consumers) attending a geriatric medicine clinic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a before and after (pre-post) interventional Hybrid Type 3 pilot and feasibility study using a mixed-methods approach. Consumers and clinicians were recruited. The study pharmacist conducted a medicine reconciliation for consumers at baseline (T0) and gave them the PRIME tool to use before their medical appointment. Data were collected at baseline (T0), post-medical appointment (T1), and 3 months after the appointment (T2). One-on-one interviews with consumer and clinician participants were conducted at T1.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twenty-three consumers and 7 clinicians (geriatricians or advanced geriatric medicine trainees) were recruited. It was feasible to implement the PRIME tool. Most consumers used the tool during or prior to their medical appointment and had a conversation about their medicines with their clinician (92.3%; primary outcome).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The PRIME tool was adopted by participants and considered to be acceptable. Our findings suggest that the tool may encourage more conversations about medicines to occur in practice. Empowering consumers to engage in conversations with their clinician about their medicines may lead to improved use of medicines and health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
