Purpose: A pharmacist-led process to improve medication management in transitions from acute care to skilled nursing facility (SNF) care is described.
Summary: The process of transitioning patients from an acute care facility to a SNF involves multiple steps, with the potential for delays in medication administration. As part of a health system's effort to evaluate barriers to timely first-dose administration after hospital-to-SNF transfers, a multidisciplinary team was tasked with defining the frequency of missed doses of high-risk medications and identifying reasons for medication administration delays.
