How frequently should clinical assessments be conducted by a pharmacist?

Conducting clinical assessments every 6 months is appropriate because it strikes a balance between ensuring that patients receive timely reviews of their medication therapy and not overburdening them with too frequent assessments. This timeframe allows pharmacists to monitor any changes in the patient's condition, response to therapy, or potential side effects, which can occur as their treatment regimen or health status evolves.

Regular assessments within this period support optimal medication management and patient outcomes, allowing the pharmacist to intervene or adjust treatment plans as needed effectively. This frequency is also aligned with recognized best practices in medication management, ensuring that patients are supported and their health is continually monitored without unnecessary disruptions.
