Provision of medication supply at hospital discharge: A rapid scoping review of the "Meds-to-Beds" care model.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Meds-to-beds (MTB) programs support care transitions by providing medications and related counseling to patients before hospital discharge. This review describes studies of MTB programs in terms of their study designs, intervention elements, and outcomes. .

Methods

A rapid scoping review was performed searching MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (from inception to December 2023) for studies examining the implementation and evaluation of an MTB program. Citations and full-text articles were independently screened by 2 reviewers. An adaptation of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research for care transitions guided data extraction. Data were synthesized using the 3-stage approach of Petticrew and Roberts. .<
