Most (70%) Transfers of Care Around Medicines (TCAM) service referrals for patients with monitored dosage systems over a 1 year between March 2019 and February 2020 were completed by community pharmacies, with 15% of referrals completed beyond 30 days.

No statistically significant changes in the rate of unintentional medication discrepancies and adverse drug events affecting patients on monitored dosage systems were detected after the implementation of the Transfers of Care Around Medicines (TCAM) service in 18 general practices, though there was uncertainty in the findings.

Drug classes most commonly reported with unintentional medication discrepancies and adverse drug event post-hospital discharge were cardiovascular and central nervous system drugs.

Following this exploratory study, further research is needed to explore how service context and implementation influence utilisation and impact.
