ED pharmacists conduct a comprehensive discharge medication review, identify and resolve medication therapy problems, and document recommendations in the electronic health record (EHR). They perform discharge medication reconciliation, generate the best possible medication list, and correct any discrepancies. Pharmacists provide structured medication counseling using teach-back and address adherence barriers. Discharge planning includes scheduling post-discharge follow-up in a pharmacist-led medication therapy management clinic and delivering a standardized handover to ambulatory pharmacists. Patients receive two post-discharge follow-up visits within 7 and 14 days, during which pharmacists reassess medications, resolve new or ongoing issues, provide education, and coordinate additional care when needed.
