The hypothesis is that the intervention of an operational clinical pharmacy team (EOPC), targeting both patients and hospital and health care professionals, allows: i) to initiate a therapeutic review during hospitalization, ii) to accompany the patients upon hospital discharge, iii) to maintain, in outpatient care, the drug treatments that have been optimized during hospitalization.
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate that the intervention of an EOPC in surgical departments and then in outpatient care makes it possible to maintain, 45 days after the discharge of the patients aged 65 years and over, the chronic outpatient treatments revised and optimized during the hospital stay.
The secondary objectives are to measure the impacts of EOPC's intervention on:

| "intervention " group | Experimental | Patient At D0, the patient receives his discharge drugs prescription and benefits from a pharmaceutical counselling. At D+3, he benefits from a telephone follow-up (good understanding of the methods of taking drugs, collection of difficulties). Community pharmacist At D0, he receives the discharge drugs prescription. At D+3, he is contacted to collect information relating to drugs 'dispensation. The attending physician At D0, he is informed of the patient's discharge and his drugs treatment At D45, the data collection is based on telephone interviews [attending physician, pharmacist and patient (and if applicable the caregiver)]. It makes possible to collect drugs taken by the patient as well as significant events over the period (acute pathologies, re-hospitalizations, etc.). |

| EOPC Intervention | Behavioral | The issue of drug continuity after hospital discharge has become a major issue in recent years. When patients return home, the drugs taken do not correspond to the treatments prescribed at the end of the hospitalization. This is due to appropriate or inappropriate initiatives of the patients (or their relatives) and/or the physicians accompanying them. Prescribed medications, on the other hand, are almost always dispensed by community pharmacists. The scope chosen in this project is that the intervention of an operational clinical pharmacy team (EOPC), targeting both patient and health care professionals (inpatient and outpatient), will maintain, in outpatient care, the drugs treatments that have been optimized during hospitalization. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance of patients' medication intake at 45 days (D45) compared to the discharge prescription (D0): drugs prescribed and taken by patients (chronic disease treatments only) | Compliance is defined as the absence of discrepancies between D0 and D+45. Conversely, the presence of a discrepancy is defined as the presence of at least one deviation of drug intake at D+45 from D0. | 45 days |
