Identifying Potential Medication Discrepancies During Medication Reconciliation in the Post-Acute Long-Term Care Setting.

Medication reconciliation has been an area with increased focus among transitions of care due to associations with error rates and risk of patient harm. Chart reviews were performed to evaluate the discrepancies between the initial physician order sheet (POS), hospital discharge summary, electronic health record (EHR), health information exchange (HIE), and the patient interview/home medication list. The objectives were to determine which medication information source provided the least number of discrepancies and describe the different types of discrepancies among sources.
