Medication Safety and Reconciliation

Introduction

Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are leading causes of injury and avoidable harm in healthcare systems worldwide.

Up to 50 percent of these errors occur at the transition of care and more than half of patients were found to have at least one medication discrepancy at hospital admission. These factors combined together put patients at a 40% risk for moderate to severe potential harm during hospitalization or after that.
