| JCAHO National Patient Safety Goal #8 states that by January 1st, 2006, hospitals must “accurately and completely reconcile medications across the continuum of care”. |
| |
| MSHP Wants to Help: |
| To help with implementation of this goal, MSHP is:
- Organizing a conference call for interested parties to discuss and share their progress on medication reconciliation.
- Providing these sample medication reconciliation forms, ”how-to” guides, and flow charts from the following links.
If you would like to share your own reconciliation form on our web site, contact MSHP at mshp@rxassociationmgt.com. |
