Older patients’ experiences and needs regarding pharmacotherapeutic care in-hospital and after discharge
To optimize patients' experiences in pharmacotherapeutic transitional care, it is essential to balance patient autonomy with professional guidance in the development of new patient-centered medication optimization interventions. Healthcare professionals should ask and document patient preferences in communication and support regarding medication decisions. Clear communication about the role of each healthcare professional may enhance patient awareness of potential medication errors, as some patients now put their trust in the organization of healthcare.
