Pharmacist support after hospital stay to reduce return visits
This study tests whether a pharmacist can help you manage your health after leaving the hospital, using digital tools like phone apps or texts, to keep you from needing to go back to the hospital. If you have a condition like asthma, heart problems, diabetes, or stroke, this extra support might help you stay healthier at home.
