Heartlink Program
GP, Pharmacy and Hospital communication links improve patient care outcomes
Tribe Research was commissioned by The Pharmacy Guild of Australia NSW Branch to advise on the evaluation of continuity of care between the Prince of Wales Hospital [Sydney] Heartlink Program and Home Medicine Reviews program. The study, published in the Australian Journal of Pharmacy and Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, found an improved link between hospital, GPs and community pharmacy that resulted in positive patient outcomes.
