Overview
Brief Summary
Patients meeting eligibility criteria will be randomized into two groups, one receiving pharmacogenetic testing and the other not receiving pharmacogenetic testing. In this open-label trial, a pharmacist will make medication therapy recommendations using YouScript® Personalized Prescribing System for patients who receive genetic testing and standard drug information resources per usual for patients who do not undergo pharmacogenetic testing.
Detailed Description
Both groups will be followed for 60 days. The number of re-hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits will be recorded as well as time to first re-hospitalization and time to first ED visit. Select Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) metrics (e.g. M1034, M1242, M1710, M1720, M1745, M2110) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-2 will be evaluated and documented at time of admission to home health, at 30 days, and at 60 days for improvement in overall status, pain, confusion, anxiety, depression, disruptive behavior, and the need for assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The number of falls will be collected as well as the proportion of YouScript® recommendations accepted by study pharmacist and passed on to clinicians and the proportion of recommendations accepted by clinicians.
