The role of a pharmacist on the home care team: a collaborative model between a college of pharmacy and a visiting nurse agency.

Medication-related problems are common among home care clients who take many medications and have complex medical histories and health problems. Helping clients manage medications can be a challenge for all home care clinicians. By partnering with a college of pharmacy at a large university in the community, the agency successfully included a pharmacist as a member of their home care team.
