Home Medication Review Checklist Development and Validation Study

65 items comprise the final Home Medication Review Checklist, developed and validated for standardizing pharmacist-led home visits. The checklist was refined through a literature review, advisory board input, and validated by eleven experts using Content Validity Index and modified kappa statistics. A feasibility study involved 20 participants to test usability and pharmacist compliance.

Use Cases

• Analyze the 65 checklist items and their 12 domains to understand the core structure of a standardized Home Medication Review.
• Use the reported Content Validity Index (CVI) and modified kappa (k*) values to study the validation methodology for clinical instruments.
• Examine the feasibility study results, including 93.5% pharmacist compliance rate, to assess practical implementation in home care settings.
• Review the development process involving a seven-member advisory board and literature review to inform the creation of similar healthcare checklists.

Strengths

• Checklist validation involved eleven experts, resulting in a high average Cronbach’s alpha (Ave-CVI) of 0.97.
• The final instrument is a detailed 65-item checklist organized into 12 distinct domains.
• Feasibility testing demonstrated a high 93.5% total compliance rate from pharmacists during reviews with 20 participants.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 84.8 KB PDF document, not a structured, machine-readable table for direct computational analysis.
• The feasibility study sample size is small, involving only 20 participants, limiting generalizability of the implementation findings.
• The checklist was developed and tested within the context of the Indian healthcare system, which may limit direct applicability to other regions without modification.
