The project to improve drug use (IMA-cRCT) aims to demonstrate that better informing the patient and involving them in the decisions regarding their treatment has a positive effect on their health and on the health system. To achieve this, a study is being conducted on primary care patients with cardiovascular risk and/or diabetes who are not sufficiently monitored and require a new treatment. 

Some primary care physicians, nurses and community pharmacists in Catalonia have received training improve their skills for informing patients and making a shared decision about their treatment. The study will provide information on the training’s impact on the use of medication and if it produces an improvement in patient’s health.
