Abstract Category: Practice Innovation / Performance Improvement (PI)
Purpose: It is well established in the literature that pharmacists providing medication therapy management services (MTM) post-hospital discharge can improve medication adherence and safety, as well as decrease Emergency Department visits and readmissions. Although the evidence supports these programs, the number of patients receiving such services is very limited, mainly due to cost. The purpose of this study is to determine if enough revenue can be generated to sustain a post-discharge pharmacist driven medication therapy management program.
Methods: A prospective review of patients discharged from medical/surgical units for an 11 months period …

Abstract Category: Research
Purpose: Historically, respiratory pathogen testing has included the use of cultures and antigen-testing. Introduction of rapid polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay has resulted in fast, effective identification of viral pathogens. However, studies show conflicting findings in the usefulness of PCR technology in the management of respiratory infections. The objective of this study is to examine the use of viral PCR assays in the management of respiratory viral infections in a community hospital. The study will describe viral PCR use in identifying viral pathogens, evaluating appropriate treatment, and de-escalating of antimicrobial therapy when indicated.
Methods: Patients will be …
