  • Nurses provided education during medication administration using assessment tools.
  • Pharmacists were consulted for patients with complex regimens, drug-related issues, or those needing advanced teaching.

    • Main Results:

    • Pharmacists educated 19% of admitted patients over six months.
    • Medication number reduced in 12% and daily administrations in 19% of patients post-intervention.
    • Pharmacists made recommendations optimizing drug regimens for 33% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured, multidisciplinary program ensures comprehensive patient medication education.
    • Pharmacist involvement targets high-risk patients, improving medication safety and adherence.
    • The program successfully optimized and simplified patient drug regimens, reducing medication burden.
