dc.description.abstractBackground Over the past 40 years, the tasks of pharmacists have shifted from logistic services to pharmaceutical care (PhC). Despite the increasing importance of measuring quality of care, there is no general defnition of Quality Indicators (QIs) to measure PhC. Recognising this, a working group in a European association of PhC researchers, the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE), was established in 2020.<p> <p>Aim This research aimed to review existing definitions of QIs and develop a definition of QIs for PhC. <p>Method A two-step procedure was applied. Firstly, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify existing QI definitions that were summarised. Secondly, an expert panel, comprised of 17 international experts from 14 countries, participated in two surveys and a discussion using a modifed Delphi technique to develop the definition of QIs for PhC. <p>Results A total of 182 QI definitions were identifed from 174 articles. Of these, 63 QI definitions (35%) cited one of fve references as the source. Sixteen aspects that construct QI definitions were derived from the identifed definitions. As a result of the Delphi study, the panel reached an agreement on a one-sentence defnition of QIs for PhC: “quality indicators for pharmaceutical care are validated measurement tools to monitor structures, processes or outcomes in the context of care provided by pharmacists”. <p>Conclusion Building upon existing defnition of QIs, an international expert panel developed the PCNE definition of QIs for PhC. This definition is intended for universal use amongst researchers and healthcare providers in PhC.en_US
