The Next Step in Medication Reconciliation: Integrating Comprehensive Medication Management Strategies at Care Transitions

Pharmacists are the medication experts and play an important role in transitions of care. Medications can be continued without indications, and guideline-directed medical therapy can be inappropriately discontinued during hospitalization. This activity will raise awareness of the role of comprehensive medication management as a framework for identifying and addressing medication errors and optimizing medication therapy during transitions of care. Each thirty-minute presentation will include audience polling and active learning techniques.
