Medication reconciliation is used when a patient moves from one level or location of care to another, to ensure they are receiving the appropriate medications. This retrospective study reviewed completed medication reconciliations of adult patients transferring from the intensive care unit to the ward. Nearly one in five had an error requiring physician changes to the order. Of those errors, 19% were high-alert medications, most notably low-molecular-weight heparin.
