Groups 2
Group 2 names the comparator: usual care.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Pharmacist Arm | Pharmacist-Led Medication Reconciliation, Regimen Review, and Adherence and Literacy Assessment and Counseling~Pharmacist-led Hospital Discharge Care Intervention: Pharmacists will address medication reconciliation, medication adherence, and polypharmacy issues as appropriate. Pharmacists will rely most on their prior training, but study investigators will also encourage the use of documentation templates with reminders, Beers list, deprescribing, motivational interviewing, the Medication Adherence and Literacy tool, and post-discharge phone calls.~Pharmacists will assess patient needs and customize accordingly. All patients will receive one discharge counseling visit and one post-discharge phone call, but pharmacists will find that some patients need further phone calls, interventions, referrals, or other interactions. Some or all of the pharmacist activities may take place over the phone. | 330 | 3,239 | EG000 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Group 2 | Usual Care | Patients in this study will receive usual care. Clinically-indicated services, including pharmacist services, may be provided to control group patients. | 334 | 3,239 | EG001 | ClinicalTrials.gov |
