Medication Reconciliation Checklist — Transition

Purpose: Ensure accurate, complete medication lists during care transitions by capturing verification steps, ownership, discrepancies, counseling, and follow-up actions in a single, savable record.

This interactive checklist is intended for pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and care coordinators. Use it at admission, transfer, pre-procedure, and discharge. Save each reconciliation so teams can audit performance, track KPIs, and reduce medication-related harms.

Tip: Adapt the checklist options and required fields to local policy and EHR workflows before first use.

Select the transition where this reconciliation is performed.
Use local standard (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM).
Check each item as completed. Use this as both a task list and a record for audits.
Discrepancies include omissions, duplications, incorrect dose/frequency/route, or wrong patient meds.
Include what was changed, who was consulted (name/role), and the clinical rationale.
Ensure orders reflect intentional changes and reconciliation notes are present.
Counseling should cover what changed, how to take meds, side effects to watch for, and who to contact.
Note materials provided and any special instructions.
Examples: notify PCP, pharmacy communication, lab monitoring, outpatient med-list update, appointment scheduling.
0 = incomplete, 5 = complete and verified. Useful for quick audit scoring.
