Criteria pharmacists use to refer patients to a post discharge pharmacist review clinic
Pharmacists used established criteria from clinical resources to identify high-risk patients for referral; however, they also relied on clinical judgement. Referrals aimed to prevent medication related harm and improve communication with patients and healthcare providers. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of clinical judgement to ensure high-risk patients are identified for transition of care services.
