Development and evaluation of pharmacist-provided teach-back medication counselling at hospital discharge.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pharmacists can use teach-back to improve patients' understanding of medication; however, the evidence of its impact on patient outcomes is inconsistent. From the literature, there is no standardised way to provide pharmacist-delivered medication counselling at hospital discharge, with limited reporting on training.

Aim

To develop a standardised medication counselling procedure using teach-back at hospital discharge, and to evaluate feedback from patients and pharmacists on this initiative.

Method

A standardised intervention procedure was developed. Participating pharmacists (n = 9) were trained on teach-back via an online education module and watching a demonstration video created by the researchers. Pharmacists provided patients with discharge medication
