Summary

This completed trial tested whether a clinical pharmacist team could reduce medication-related problems when adults move from a hospital to a skilled nursing facility. Over 1,000 patients took part. The pharmacist performed medication reviews, used a checklist for hand-offs, and monitored orders for the first week. The goal was to see if this reduces medication errors, readmissions, and deaths within 30 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Clinical pharmacist intervention (medication reconciliation, structured hand-off, transitional monitoring)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce medication errors and hospital readmissions for patients moving to skilled nursing facilities.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results may not apply to all hospitals or nursing homes. The intervention depends on pharmacist availability, which may limit widespread use.
