In Episode 129 of The Pharm So Hard Podcast, host Jimmy Pruitt, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP, BCEMP, is joined by Oscar Santalo, PharmD, MBA, MHA, BCPS, to discuss his recently published study in the Journal of Acute Care Pharmacotherapy (JACP) examining prescription abandonment after emergency department discharge. Jimmy and Oscar walk through the motivation behind the research and explore how automated pharmacy kiosks may serve as a practical solution to improve medication access at the point of discharge. The conversation focuses on why prescription abandonment remains a persistent challenge in emergency care and how pharmacy-led innovations can help bridge gaps during transitions from the ED to home. This episode also takes a broader look at the role of clinical pharmacy in emergency medicine, highlighting how system-level approaches can support adherence, continuity of care, and better patient experiences. If you’re interested in how evidence published in JACP can inform real-world practice, this episode offers thoughtful insight from the study’s author himself.
