Summary
This study tests whether a clinical pharmacist calling a patient's general practitioner 90 days after hospital discharge can reduce readmissions and emergency visits. It includes 800 patients aged 65 and older who take at least seven medications. The goal is to improve communication between hospital and primary care to better manage complex medication regimens.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could reduce hospital readmissions and improve medication management for older adults taking many drugs.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (800 participants) testing a communication process, not a drug. Results may not apply to other hospitals or regions.
