Development and validation of a logic model for comprehensive medication management services.

Abstract

To develop and validate a theoretical logic model for comprehensive medication management (CMM) services. The components of a logic model were constructed after a literature review and interviews with 4 CMM professionals. To validate the logic model, a panel of 17 CMM experts participated in three online Delphi method rounds to achieve consensus on the model. The consensus between the experts on each component of the logic model was evaluated using the Content Validity Index and Inter-rater Agreement in each of the rounds. A logic model for CMM services containing 51 items was constructed and validated. Both the items of each component of the model and the linkage between the main components were agreed upon among the experts. A logic model for CMM services was developed and validated. It is an innovative tool that, if used as a theoretical framework for the implementation of CMM, can ensure greater reproducibility of CMM services in different scenarios of practice and levels of care.
