What Are We Trying to Accomplish?

Our aim was to develop a collaborative management approach by pharmacists, nurses, and respiratory therapists to provide standardized patient education on medication use.

Specifically:

• Increase patients' perception of (satisfaction with) the delivery of medication education while in the hospital
• Simplify medication regimens as appropriate
• Decrease hospital readmissions
