5 Conclusions Tackling the transitions trifecta in a comprehensive manner can improve outcomes for high risk patients There is opportunity to better fine tune the process for efficiently identifying high risk patients Data collection and analytics are important to ensure the program is achieving goals Multi disciplinary, team based approach is essential, including the role of pharmacy technicians The care of the patient does not end at discharge history validation, assessment and risk stratification of the patients medication adherence and literacy, patient education, post discharge follow up, and inter professional collaboration are essential elements of a comprehensive care transitions program. history validation, assessment and risk stratification of the patients medication adherence and literacy, patient education, post discharge follow up, and inter professional collaboration are essential elements of a comprehensive care transitions program. The use of an algorithm to risk stratify patients for post discharge follow up may help to effectively deploy limited resources. The use of an algorithm to risk stratify patients for post discharge follow up may help to effectively deploy limited resources Measuring the number of drug related problems resolved and potential readmissions prevented is not important to determine the impact of pharmacists on care transitions merican Society of Health-System Pharmacists 5
