The Rosa Parks Wellness Institute for Senior Health (RP-WISH) created a program that focused on improving the safety of care by making an increased effort to schedule follow-up appointments and medication reconciliation within 1 week of discharge.

They intended to call patients that were discharged home when the pharmacy finds medication-related problems and to intervene to resolve those problems to avoid adverse drug effects.…
