Can pharmacist collaboration cut medication errors for patients on multiple drugs?
NCT ID NCT06902779
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether closer collaboration between hospital and community pharmacists can reduce drug-related problems when patients taking many medications leave the hospital. Researchers will compare usual care to a process where the hospital pharmacist contacts the community pharmacy before discharge, shares the prescription, and provides extra information. The goal is to see if this reduces errors and improves patient and pharmacist satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Enhanced pharmacist collaboration (hospital pharmacist coordinates with community pharmacy at discharge)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could reduce medication errors and improve safety for patients taking multiple drugs after leaving the hospital.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (150 participants) testing a process change, not a new drug. Results may not apply to other hospitals or patient groups.
