Safer Healthcare Now! - GrandRiver - Medication Reconciliation

The main goal of Medication Reconciliation (Acute Care) is to prevent adverse drug events (ADEs) and potential harm by gathering a comprehensive medication list upon admission to hospital and reconciling any discrepancies between the list and medication orders. The rate of undocumented intentional discrepancies fell from a baseline rate of over 1.0 per patient to .68 per patient within Phase 1. The rate of unintentional discrepancies reported a sustained reduction over time from almost 1.2 per patient at baseline to close to 0.6 per patient.
