Summary
ABiMed, a clinical decision support system, significantly aids community pharmacists in medication reviews by identifying more drug-related problems and proposing better interventions without increasing time. It scores "excellent" for usability and enhances visual aspects and comparative treatment analysis. ABiMed improves problem identification, supports clinical interventions, and shows no difference in support based on pharmacist age or sex. It potentially validates its use in clinical conditions, focusing on polypharmacy management and STOPP/START rules.
