This session will highlight the current gaps in pharmacist and healthcare team engagement during transitions, outline evidence-based strategies and best practices to mitigate medication errors and emphasize the benefits of multidisciplinary collaboration. Participants will learn how structured pharmacist interventions, proactive medication reconciliation, and adherence to clinical guidelines can enhance patient outcomes and reduce readmissions. By providing practical implementation strategies and recent evidence, the speaker will equip participants with the tools to ensure smoother transitions of care and safer medication use across healthcare settings.
