Impacts of pharmacist-led medication reconciliation on discrepancies and 30-days post-discharge health services utilization in elderly Jordanians
Pharmacist-led MedRec services improved continuity of care for elderly patients. Implementing a structured reconciliation process successfully resolved discrepancies and reduced hospital readmissions as well as ED visits at 30-days post-discharge. This outlines potentials for healthcare cost savings. Future studies are recommended to explore long-term benefits, cost-effectiveness, and integrating pharmacist-led MedRec into standard discharge planning.
