Supporting Pharmacist-GP Collaboration in Medication Review Using Argumentation

Year: 2024

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Medication review is a collaborative process between pharmacists and general practitioners (GPs) aimed at optimizing patient care by identifying and eliminating harmful medications. This paper proposes a collaborative platform to enhance pharmacist-GP interactions, assess drug-drug interactions, evaluate adverse effects, and manage dosages. The platform uses the issue mapping function of IBIS to structure dialogues and systematically evaluates proposed actions using the QuAD framework to support decision-making. An ontology based on medical knowledge ensures consistency, while visual enhancements such as varying edge width, color coding, and highlighting preferred actions enable swift, informed decisions. These tools improve collaboration and patient care outcomes.
