Discussed medication reconciliation in different care settings<\/td>\n- Ambulatory setting: Miller et al. studies found about 87% of charts had incomplete documentation of medications<\/p>\n

- Inpatient: Vira et al. found 38% discrepancy rate for inpatient hospital setting - Transition of care:<\/p>\n

Pronovost et al. found 94% discrepancy between discharge orders from ICU to transition of care<\/td>\n

Recommendations:<\/p>\n

- Identify a standard location where the med history would be reported, an assigned person to document the med history, time frame to resolve the variations, and a standard template to document medication history<\/p>\n

- Educate provider as well as patient, caregivers<\/p>\n

- Design and implement monitoring process to evaluate the outcome of the process<\/td>\n
