AbstractWhat is known and objective: The pharmacist's role has evolved dramatically over the last few decades and shows considerable impact globally. The aim of this systematic review was to describe the nature and extent of studies evaluating the impact of pharmacist-provided services on clinical, humanistic and economic outcomes in different healthcare settings across the Arab world. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using the following databases from their inception until June 2020: Cochrane, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus. Reporting was done according to PRISMA guidelines, and the quality assessment utilized the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results and discussion: Thirty-five eligible studies were included in this review, the majority of which were randomized controlled trials (RCT) (n=26) conducted in hospital settings (n=26). Most of the studies involved patients with specific medical conditions (n=29) and pharmacist's interventions involved mainly medication therapy management (n=32), counselling and education (n=29), and medication therapy recommendations (n=12). Several studies showed a positive impact (i.e., a statistically and/or clinically significant difference in favour of pharmacist-provided care or intervention) of pharmacist-provided services on clinical (n=28), humanistic (n=6) and economic (n=5) outcomes. Conversely, five studies showed neutral or mixed effect of pharmacist interventions on clinical and humanistic outcomes. What is new and conclusion: The findings of this systematic review demonstrate a positive impact of pharmacist-provided services on clinical, humanistic and economic outcomes across diverse settings in the Arab world. Most of the included studies evaluated clinical outcomes and were from hospital setting. Directed approaches are needed to advance pharmacy practice across various healthcare settings in the Arab world. 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
