Summary:

Medication management is a critical area during a patient’s care transition. Pharmacists are well positioned to offer assistance in this space as medication experts but are often underutilized. This course will look at the various ways pharmacists can be a supportive member of a patient’s health care team during transitions of care and help meet today’s healthcare issues around transitions. The Know Your Transitions of Care Pharmacist is a resource for patients, family and caregivers to bring additional information on how pharmacists can help. The resource includes relevant questions to ask your pharmacist and how a pharmacist is an advocate for your health. 

Objectives:
*Review the complexity of transitions of care

*Discuss the importance of medication management
within a patient’s care continuum

*Describe the various roles pharmacists
can play in transitions of care

*Assess the implementation of the patient
and caregiver education material
“Know Your Transitions of Care Pharmacist”
