Why the study?
The Meds to Beds program aims to improve adherence and reduce readmissions, but its effectiveness on 90-day readmission rates in a community teaching hospital needed evaluation.
Does a Meds to Beds (MTB) program reduce 90-day readmission rates in patients discharged with newly prescribed medications?
Population
63 patients discharged from emergency, medical, or surgical units with at least one newly prescribed medication
Comparison
90 days after vs 90 days before the MTB intervention
Design
Prospective self-controlled study
Follow-up
90 days
