Identification of Iatrogenic Drug Events Upon Admission to the Adult Emergency Departments
France100 participantsStarted 2025-07-09
Plain-language summary
Pharmacists working within a multidisciplinary team have a role to play in detecting the potential iatrogenic origin of a hospital admission, in order to implement measures to improve medication use appropriately and limit readmissions for medication-related iatrogenesis. The iatrogenic detection process depends on the individual involved, their experience, and any tools consulted. Indeed, detection aids have their place in this process and aim for better identification. For example, a questionnaire called AT HARM 10 was developed by a team of experienced pharmacists to identify hospitalizations related to medication-related iatrogenesis. The use of this tool has been validated for pharmacists as well as for pharmacy students: interns and fifth-year medical students.
Identifying iatrogenic drug events among patients presenting to the emergency department using the AT HARM 10 grid in order to intervene and adapt therapeutic management. This clinical pharmacy activity complements what is already included in routine care (medication review, pharmaceutical analysis, and pharmaceutical intervention to adapt treatment).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
