Assignment: Have a conversation with a patient at discharge and ask: (1) Do you know what the medication is for? (2) Can you obtain the recommended medication? (3) Do you know about the possible side-effects? Report out: What did you learn? Please chat in any reflections on the exercise.
Medication Reconciliation: My hospital has a process to reconcile medications at admission and all transitions of care:

Background: Transitions between healthcare settings are vulnerable times for patients. Medication discrepancies associated with transitions are particularly problematic. Combining medication history information from various sources may improve the completeness and accuracy of medication information, leading to improved safety outcomes. Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy and completeness of patients’ medication history information at the time of hospital admission from 3 different electronic sources, and to assess the additive value provided by each source. Study Design: Case study of admissions to 2 community hospitals in upstate New York between September 2010 and April 2011. Methods: Medication history information was obtained from the hospital’s electronic health record (EHR), a commercial medication database, and a community wide health information exchange web
part of the routine intake medication reconciliation process. Results: We studied 858 patients, who collectively were on 7731 medications. The hospital EHR captured 80% (n = 6152) of medications accurately, the commercial medication database captured 45% (n = 3464) accurately, and the community portal captured 37% (n = 2838) accurately. When all 3 sources of medication information were pooled, medication accuracy increased to 91% (n = 6997).

medication list? Do you know what to include?

used?
should they care? What are the patient’s goals?

monitor medication therapy?
should they do if a dose is missed?
pharmacist can be contacted for questions about any drug?
understands the education provided? Can the patient/caregiver demonstrate internalization of new knowledge?

medication reconciliation is possible with leadership and optimization of resources – both technological and human
reconciliation and medication management should be explicit and communication bi-directional
