First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a coordinated drug reconciliation process — where a pharmacist reviews and communicates a patient's medications at discharge — can reduce treatment interruptions and improve safety. The study includes hospitalized children and adults who need special medication supplies. The goal is to see if this organized handoff leads to fewer days without necessary medication after leaving the hospital.
