Greystone Healthcare Management And Walgreen Co Announces Medication Therapy Management Program In Post-Acute Care Setting

Walgreen Co and Greystone Healthcare Management announced that they have launched a collaborative therapy management pilot program at the Lady Lake Specialty Center in Lady Lake, Fla., aimed at enhancing medication adherence and reducing readmissions rates for patients in post-acute care settings. The program utilizes Walgreens community pharmacists to deliver medication and counseling directly to patients prior to discharge from the 145-bed center. Following discharge, patients will receive a follow-up call from a Walgreens pharmacist within 72 hours to help them understand and comply with their medication therapies.
