A Pharmacist-led Transitions of Care Program
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Disease
In brief
This study was to show the value of pharmacists in providing transitions of care to and improving health outcomes of uninsured populations. It also aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a transitions of care program in an indigent care clinic with limited resources. We hypothesized that a pharmacist-led transitions of care program will reduce 30-day hospital readmission rates among the uninsured discharged from a community hospital.
