| Abstract: | Background and objective: Consistent preventative pharmaceutical care interventions during care transitions with the aim of improving patient outcomes and quality care are imperative for a shift towards value-based care. The impact of pharmacist interventions on readmission rate of heart failure (HF) patients is a target outcome measure. Finding the most appropriate and practical intervention combination to be applied during transition from hospital to community is challenging. The objective was to determine and apply pharmacist interventions during transition-of-care (TOC) to HF patients and study impact on readmission rate. |
