https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5670119249443446621

Healthcare transitions remain one of the most vulnerable periods in a patient's journey, particularly for individuals with complex medical conditions. Improving outcomes requires more than effective handoffs. It demands meaningful collaboration among healthcare professionals. This presentation explores how pharmacists and case managers, working together, can improve care coordination, optimize medication management, reduce avoidable readmissions, and enhance patient outcomes across the continuum of care. Through the unique perspectives of transplant and neurology case management, participants will examine practical strategies for addressing medication adherence, patient education, social determinants of health, transitions of care, and interdisciplinary communication. Case studies will illustrate how combining the expertise of pharmacists and case managers creates a more seamless, patient-centered approach to care that improves quality, safety, and value. When pharmacists and case managers collaborate, transitions become safer, care becomes more connected, and patients achieve better outcomes. Pharmacists and case managers are most effective when they work together as one coordinated team.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss collaborative strategies that improve medication adherence, patient engagement, and care coordination.

2. Recognize opportunities to strengthen partnerships between pharmacists and case managers to enhance quality, value-based care, and the overall patient experience.

3. Analyze how interdisciplinary collaboration improves medication safety and continuity of care.
