Book excerpt: This handbook is an invaluable tool for health care organizations seeking to implement an effective medication reconciliation process. Medication errors commonly occur at points of transition in care, such as at admission, during transfer from one department to another, or at discharge. A medication reconciliation process can help your organization decrease the incidents of medication errors at these points. Numerous case studies describe successes in forming a team to incorporate medication reconciliation in their processes. The Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goal on medication reconciliation is also discussed.
