Overview
Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the MedWise Risk Score™ (MWRS™), a holistic approach to quantifying the risk of a patient's medication regimen. High risk patients will be identified at hospital discharge. Targeted interventions will be made to reduce their MWRS™ with a 30-day follow up. The hypothesis being tested is that a reduction in MWRS™ will lead to reduced 30-day readmission.
