Final Summary
Medication Reconciliation is a process designed to prevent medication errors at all interfaces of care (admission, transfer and discharge). The purpose of this module was to provide you with the basic knowledge and understanding to successfully incorporate medication reconciliation in your daily practice as a team. If you have already implemented medication reconciliation, then completion of this module will hopefully reinforce the concepts and strengthen communication within your team.
It is very important to evaluate the success of your team in performing medication reconciliation. It is beyond the scope of this module to review the methods of evaluation. You should consult your quality improvement and patient safety coordinator or ISMP Canada (www.ismp-canada.org).
