Literature Search. A systematic literature review was undertaken in August 2016 to identify studies that provide evidence relating to the effectiveness, costs and cost-effectiveness of CI or similar programs provided by pharmacists to individuals living in the community. The grey literature was also searched, as were the reference lists of included studies. Table ES.1 presents the evidence selection criteria. Table ES.1 Selection criteria for evidence relating to CI services provided by community pharmacies Criteria Description Population Community patients taking one or more self-administered medications (prescribed or over-the-counter). ‘Self-administered’ refers to the administration of a medication without the active assistance of a health care professional. It allows for medication administered by a family member or carer. Intervention Any professional activity undertaken by a community pharmacist directed towards improving QUM and resulting in a recommendation for a change in a consumer’s medication therapy, means of administration or medication-taking behaviour. Note: The ‘professional activity’ may involve a recommendation for a change of therapy, referral, provision of information, or monitoring in relation to a drug-related problem. A drug-related problem may include: drug selection (the choice of drug prescribed or taken) over- or under-dosing (the prescribed dose or schedule of a drug) compliance (the way the consumer takes the medication) under-treatment (actual or potential conditions that require management or prevention) monitoring the efficacy or adverse effects of a drug education or information about a drug or disease (at the consumer’s request) toxicity or adverse reaction to a medication not classifiable Comparator Community patients in the absence of the intervention. Outcomes adherence/compliance/concordance with prescribed dose schedule (e.g. pill count, self-report) change in patient management clinical outcomes (e.g. BP in patients with hypertension, HbA1c in patients with diabetes) adverse drug events/reactions and medication-related problems mortality health care resource use (ED attendance, hospitalisation, GP visits, specialist visits, pathology or other investigations) patient acceptance/satisfaction health-related quality of life costs and cost-effectiveness Study design Comparative studies (randomised or non-randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, case control studies) or systematic reviews of comparative studies. Applicability to the A...
Literature Search. A systematic literature review was undertaken in August 2016 to identify studies that provide evidence relating to the effectiveness, costs and cost-effectiveness of SS or similar programs provided by pharmacists to individuals living in the community. The grey literature was also searched, as were the reference lists of included studies. Table ES.1 presents the evidence selection criteria. Table ES.1 Selection criteria for evidence relating to SS services provided by community pharmacies Criteria Description Criteria Description Population Community patients with a mental illness, drug dependency or who are otherwise unable to manage their self- administered medicines safely. Subpopulations: • patients with confusion and/or significant disorientation • patients at risk of accidental or deliberate self-harm or harm to others • patients at risk of non-adherence to a medication regime • patients at risk of misuse or on-selling of the medication Intervention Supply of prescription medicines (e.g. opioid analgesics and medicines used for the treatment of mental health disorders) to a patient in periodic instalments of less than the originally prescribed quantity, at agreed time intervals (x.x. xxxxx, weekly or as directed by the prescriber) by a community pharmacy. Note: Excludes the supply of medicines related to opioid substitution therapy. Comparator Community patients in the absence of the intervention. Outcomes • adherence/compliance/concordance with prescribed dose schedule • clinical outcomes (e.g. psychological symptoms in patients with mental illness) • adverse drug events/reactions and medication-related problems • mortality • health care resource use (ED attendance, hospitalisation, GP visits, specialist visits) • patient acceptance/satisfaction • health-related quality of life • costs and cost-effectiveness Study design Comparative studies (randomised or non-randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, case control studies) or systematic reviews of comparative studies. Applicability to the Australian context will be considered Publication type Full English-language publications or reports. Conference abstracts are excluded. Search period No year restrictions Abbreviations: ED, emergency department; GP, general practitioner; SS, Staged Supply. The systematic literature search did not identify any studies that fulfilled the criteria outlined in Table ES.1. The Pharmacy Guild of Australia was subsequently notified and asked whether they are aware of ...
Literature Search. The literature search was completed following PRISMA guidelines (Xxxxx et al., 2009). Specifically, a search of the PubMed, Embase, Medline, and PsycINFO databases was carried out using relevant search terms related to hoarding and genetics (see Appendix 2 for key search terms). The initial search was completed in March 2016 without any restrictions or filters. After removal of duplicates, records were screened at the title and/or abstract levels. The full-text of the relevant papers was assessed for inclusion/exclusion and the references of identified articles also reviewed.
Literature Search. We identified published IIS research manuscripts using two systems. First, we searched the CDC IIS publication database(11) for papers published from 1999- July 3, 2012. Next, We searched Pubmed during the period April 9, 2012 to July 3, 2012 using the search terms ―(immunization OR vaccination) AND ((Information system*) OR registry)‖ with results limited to papers written in English and published after January 1, 1999. Titles and abstracts were reviewed for possible IIS data usage for research purposes, and the full article was reviewed for those studies that reported research from an IIS. Papers were included if they described using data from an IIS affiliated with an immunization program registry or a ―regional registry‖ that covered the same geographic area as an IIS affiliated
Literature Search. What are other people doing? Strengthening the control of the scientific research is the latest trend around the globe. A lot of attention is focuses on the development and implementation of ICP-like approaches in the universities, scientific and research institutes. For example:
Literature Search. What are other people doing? In 2013 STCU joined to EU CBRN Centers of Excellence (XxX) initiative. As a Consortium member STCU participated in three CBRN XxX Projects which were successfully implemented in the South-East Europe, Southern Caucasus, Moldova and Ukraine region.
Literature Search. What are other people doing? This work is a pioneer attempt to trace the whole chain and a relationship between a supplier (Ukraine) and a recipient (the EU countries) of intangible technologies, which is based on rigorous control regulations which, in many instances, provide a certain background and to some extend provoke conflicting political situations and other obstacles. How are their results being applied? As above said this effort is a pioneer one that will help to trace and understand the whole chain and a relationship between a supplier (Ukraine) and a recipient (the EU countries) of intangible technologies. A certain background as to transfer of dual-use technologies gained by IPMS developers to other countries than the EU will be provided and analyzed.

Literature Search. The report will seek to include a literature search on the cities in California with a similar 2/3 vote required for approval of city fees, taxes, and assessments (if available).
Literature Search. To ensure that a comprehensive set of articles were identified, a multi-step procedure was employed, which included computerized searches of relevant online databases. Potentially relevant search terms were searched in PsycINFO including PsycARTICLES, XXXX, PubMed/XXXXXXX, and ProQuest Dissertations and Thesis. Additionally, content type included book/eBook, book chapter, dissertation/thesis, journal article, and manuscript. Publication date was not restricted in order to maximize the number of articles identified and prevent limiting findings to only more recent publications. The following search terms were used in this literature search:
