Development and validation of a guide for the continuity of care in perioperative medication management

ConclusionsWe developed a guide for the continuity of care in perioperative medication management to improve the rationalization of medicines in the perioperative environment. After the pharmacists had been trained, the guide was validated by demonstrating a high level of concordance among the pharmacists ’ recommendations. Formal training seems to be essential to ensure consistency in medical decisions.Level of evidenceIV (Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.http://www.cebm.net/index.aspx?o=5653).
