Abstract
Objectives: This study explored South-East Queensland Australian pharmacists' perspectives on preparing discharge medicine lists, specifically involvement of pharmacy assistants, use of electronic medication management software, and expanding pharmacists' scope during discharge.
Methods: Electronic survey distributed to pharmacists during December 2021 and data collected over 3 weeks.
Key findings: Pharmacists supported increased involvement of pharmacy assistants (with structured collaborative training), pharmacist-led medication reconciliation, and producing the discharge medicine list directly from the electronic record.
Conclusions: Increased scope of pharmacy assistants to complete technical tasks will improve pharmacists' capacity to integrate with the medical team and perform discharge medication reconciliation.
