The primary objective was to evaluate the impact of counseling on medication adherence and 30-day readmission rates. During the pilot phase, 77% of eligible patients received counseling and no hypertension-related readmissions occurred within 30 days, compared to an 8.3% readmission rate in the baseline phase. In follow-up telephone surveys conducted 4 to 6 weeks after discharge counseling, most patients reported adherence to antihypertensive medications; however, knowledge gaps regarding prescription refill procedures were identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pharmacy resident\u2013led counseling at discharge may reduce the number of hypertension-related readmissions and appears beneficial in supporting medication adherence.
