Medication Reconciliation: The Biggest Patient Safety Issue Facing Clinicians Today

November 11, 2018

Executive Summary: Medication reconciliation is one of the most significant challenges facing healthcare organizations today. An inaccurate medication history can follow a patient throughout every encounter during a hospital stay and beyond. Even small errors can negatively affect outcomes, greatly harm patients, and drive up the costs of care. Unfortunately, medication reconciliation is a complex process, making efforts to capture and pass along an accurate medication history difficult for clinicians.
