Botros S, Dunn J. Implementation and spread of a simple and effective way to improve the accuracy of medicines reconciliation on discharge: a hospital-based quality improvement project and success story. BMJ Open Qual. 2019;8(3):e000363. doi:10.1136/bmjoq-2018-000363.
A quality improvement program that used a paper-based reminder to encourage physicians to complete medication reconciliation and communicate medication changes to outpatient physicians effectively improved the accuracy of medication reconciliation at discharge in a Scottish teaching hospital's surgical ward. The intervention was successfully disseminated to other wards within the hospital.
