Medication reconciliation at hospital discharge can result in reduction of adverse events when the patient returns to the community. This study measured the effect of medication reconciliation performed at admission to hospital on subsequent health care outcomes. For patients ages 85 years and older, taking more than 10 medications at hospital admission, or both, medication reconciliation at admission did not have an impact on 30-day readmission to hospital.
