Join NCPA's Long-Term Care Steering Committee next Thursday, Aug. 27, at 3 p.m. ET for an interactive discussion on how you can improve transitions of care and medication safety outcomes for your patients as they move between different settings. Committee member Dawn Goodwin, director of pharmacy and clinical services at Kaup Pharmacy, and Leanne-Haley Brown, CPESN® assistant director of home-based and LTC pharmacy, will share real-world strategies for improving medication safety as patients move between hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and home settings.
Discussion topics will include medication reconciliation challenges, communication gaps among care teams, high-risk medications during transitions, reducing avoidable readmissions, ensuring timely access to medications after discharge, leveraging pharmacist interventions, and strengthening collaboration among LTC pharmacies, providers, caregivers, and community-based care teams to support safe and successful transitions.
This discussion is part of the LTC Steering Committee’s Last Thursday Connect virtual “hallway conversation” series designed to bring Long-Term Care Division members together for practical, peer-driven discussions. This session is designed to be interactive and shaped by your questions. Come ready to engage and gain insights to help you better understand your pharmacy’s financial health.
