'There has to be a better way of doing this': hospital pharmacists' perspectives on optimizing medication management during hospital-to-home transitions of care.
Objectives: Undertake a pilot study to explore hospital pharmacists' perspectives of factors contributing to medication-related problems during transitions of care from hospital to home, and opportunities for pharmacist optimization.
Methods: A focus group of hospital pharmacists from a large Australian tertiary care health service.
Key findings: Six pharmacists identified communication-related factors as contributing to medication-related problems, including poor communication between healthcare providers and with patients, limited patient understanding of medication-related information, and fragmented care networks.
Conclusion: A more empowered role for hospital pharmacists in transitions of care is needed, to address verbal communication limitations contributing to medication-related problems.
