The interventions were reviewed by a technical expert panel and categorized as either tools or tactics. The identified tools are instruments such as diagrams, flow charts, lists, tables, and templates used in performing a distinct operation, whereas identified tactics reflect broader methods (eg, reduced dosing frequency). Tools and tactics were chosen on the basis of their potential to improve postdischarge medication management, with a focus on interventions led by pharmacy staff that may reduce hospital readmissions among older, sicker patients. Overall, 23 tools and 2 tactics were identified. The identified tools include items such as education, text messaging, and phone calls. The tactics identified are dose simplification and monetary incentives. Practical information has also been provided to facilitate implementation.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Several tools and tactics are available to optimize peri- and postdischarge medication management. Organizational pharmacist-leaders and frontline pharmacy staff can implement these interventions to improve patient outcomes.American journal of health-system pharmacy : AJHP : official journal of the American Society of Health-System PharmacistsTools and tactics for postdischarge medication management interventions.PMC7970403R01 AG058911L30AG048588K23 AG049181K23AG049181L30 AG048588R01AG058911Shane RRPevnick JMAnderson LJChirumamilla SNuckols TKNoh LELuong DDSchnipper JLAmer KPalmer KLesser RBfalseTools and tactics for postdischarge medication management interventions.<h4>Purpose</h4>To identify interventions for organizational pharmacist-leaders and frontline pharmacy staff to optimize peri- and postdischarge medication management.<h4>Summary</h4>An evidence-based toolkit was systematically constructed on the basis of findings of 3 systematic overviews of systematic reviews.
