The Pharmacy-Driven Discharge Meds Recheck app ensures discharge prescriptions are clinically appropriate, verified, and fully communicated before the patient leaves. It enables pharmacists to confirm reconciliation accuracy, review drug interactions, and document counseling within EMR workflows, closing the loop between inpatient, outpatient, and patient-facing medication continuity.
Worklists identify patients pending discharge, highlighting prescription readiness, pharmacist review status, and counseling completion. The tool supports teach-back documentation, materials delivery, and structured hand-off to retail or specialty pharmacy without duplicating dispensing system functionality.
