Comprehensive Medication Reconciliation

Thank you Lisa for sharing this video. Another broad term that applies is the pharmaceutical care process.

I wanted to share this link and video about Comprehensive Medication Reconciliation. www.pharmacypracticenews.com/Multimedia/Article/04-16/Comprehensive-Medication-Reconciliation/35850/ses=ogst?enl=true

Also can be termed Clinical medication review or Comprehensive Medication review or Medication Therapy Management.
When you take medication reconciliation above and beyond just comparing and sorting out lists - you get results.
Taking the patient factors, wishes and needs into the design of a medication plan is essential to enable a patient's successful implementation.

This comprehensive approach is necessary at hospital discharge, once home from the hospital or within the community setting when identified that medications could be contributing negatively to a patient's health (e.g., falls or cognitive decline).

A systematic way is required to get to the root cause of medication problems being solved. Any thoughts? Or stories to share?
