‘Meds-to-beds’ programs aim to prevent re-hospitalization

Today we're bringing you a news-worthy article out of the Washington Post that highlights a new program that will hopefully decrease the re-hospitalization rate of patients.

While some hospitals have long had pharmacies for patients whose doctors have outpatient offices on the facility’s grounds, others have recently added on-site pharmacies that all inpatients can use at discharge. Many hospitals, including UCLA and UCSF, partner with Walgreens for both discharge counseling and dispensing."
