HealthTrust presents…”Transitioning to the Future of Pharmacy”
Transitions of care is a process gaining more recognition in healthcare institutions because it has shown to improve patient care and reduce hospital readmissions rates. Since this is an evolving area, the presenter will share the role licensed pharmacists can play in the transitions of care setting. Specifically, the session will provide an overview of practice models that have demonstrated improved outcomes in patients so that attendees might incorporate aspects of these models into their own practice. The session will also focus on various strategies to help patients overcome barriers to obtaining medications.
Learning Objectives for pharmacists | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
- Describe metrics outlined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services regarding quality of care for core disease states
- Identify patient characteristics that are predictive of 30-day readmissions and the role of transitions of care pharmacists to impact those characteristics
- List resources and strategies to improve access to medications for patients
Learning Objectives for pharmacy technicians | At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
- Underline the optimal methods and strategies to obtain a gold standard medication history
- Identify resources available to improve patient access to medications
