However, remuneration for home visits often excludes ambulatory, nonhomebound patients. A subset of these patients have issues that cannot be adequately identified and resolved during the course of a typical pharmacy-based medication review.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to characterize the prevalence and nature of \u201chidden in the home\u201d medication management issues in nonhomebound patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pharmacists facilitated subject enrollment among patients at 6 community pharmacies in Toronto over a 15-month period, from January 2016 to March 2017. Patients taking 5 or more chronic medications who were ambulatory (able to visit the pharmacy) and scored 3 points or higher on a prescreening questionnaire were invited to participate. Visits included a standard medication review, the identification of drug therapy problems and an assessment of the patient\u2019s medication and organization\/storage practices, followed by a medication cabinet cleanup.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One hundred patients were recruited, with a mean age of 76.9 years and taking on average 10 chronic medications. Pharmacists identified a total of 275 drug therapy problems (2.75 per patient). The most common issues reported additional therapy required (23.6%), nonadherence (23.3%) and adverse drug reactions (17.8%). For those patients 65 years or older (87%), 32% were found to be using at least 1 medication on the Beers Criteria list, while 6% were using 3 or more. Sulfonylureas, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and short-acting benzodiazepines were the most commonly implicated drugs. Medications were removed from the homes of 67% of the patients, with expiry of medication being the most common reason for removal (54.2%). The mean duration of a home visit was 49.5 minutes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pharmacist-directed home medication reviews offer an effective mechanism to address the pharmacotherapy issues of patients taking multiple medications. These findings highlight the frequency of medication management issues in this group and suggest that home medication reviews could serve to minimize inappropriate use of medication and maximize health care cost savings in this unique patient population.
