Conclusions: Pharmacist-led BPMH significantly improved medication history accuracy compared to conventional methods, which had inaccuracies in over 70%. It is important to be careful when obtaining BPMH for older adults, particularly those with complex medication regimens, nonoral medications, or PRN medications, to enhance patient safety and reduce medication-related risks.
