Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Pharmaceutical interventions are proposals made by hospital clinical pharmacists to address sub-optimal uses of medications during prescription review. Pharmaceutical interventions include the identification of drug-related problems, their prevention and resolution. The objective of this study was to exploit a newly developed deep neural network classifier to identify drug-related problems from pharmaceutical interventions and perform a large retrospective descriptive analysis of them in a French university hospital over a 3-year period.
