Pharmacist involvement in discharge medication reconciliation/counseling

For those organizations using pharmacists for discharge medication reconciliation and/or counseling, can you answer the below questions? We are trying to expand our program.

1. Are pharmacists involved in all discharges?
2. If not all discharges, what criteria are you using? High alert meds? diagnosis with high readmission rates?
3. what metrics are you tracking?

thanks
Sean
