Just to add to James's comment
Many Australian hospitals already have processes to support medicine self-management for selected patients when they are admitted into the physical hospital and often the same processes are used for patients receiving care in the home. Many borrow from the approach used in residential care, focus on self-administration of usual medicines, patient-controlled analgesia or symptom control and more recently moving to self-administration of selected medicines like insulin. Having some guidelines about patient and medicine selection helps, of course it's better if you have clinical pharmacy as part of the HITH team! A few links that may help
