Abstract

Home Care Services Nurse's Role Humans Continuity of Patient Care Patient Discharge Patient Care Team Medication Therapy Management
During times of transition, the pharmaceutical care patients receive is often suboptimal and wrought with danger. Home healthcare nurses play a pivotal and important role in providing transitional care to patients by identifying and resolving medication discrepancies. Nurses must partner with pharmacists, physicians, and others involved with care transitions to decrease the likelihood of patients experiencing untoward health consequences associated with medications.-Eric A. .
