Levels of clinical relevance for prescription related pharmaceutical care problems, including examples for each score of clinical relevance.
| Score, description | Example |
|---|---|
| 0, Aspect is not applicable | – |
| 1, Aspect is applicable, but not clinically relevant | Use of vitamin C preparations without an indication known |
| 2, Aspect is applicable and potentially clinically relevant; extra information is needed to determine the relevancy of these points of attention (such as blood pressure, other measurements or clinical condition of the patient) | Drug–drug interaction between digoxin and diuretics; when potassium levels are regularly checked this interaction will not cause any problems |
| 3, Aspect is applicable and clinically relevant; these aspects are of clinical relevance in all instances | Prescribing glibenclamid, which is not suitable for use in older patients because it can cause prolonged hypoglycaemia |
