Medication Reconciliation During Transitions of Care as a Patient Safety Strategy: A Systematic Review
Kwan, Janice L., Lisha Lo, Margaret Sampson, and Kaveh G. Shojania. "Medication Reconciliation During Transitions of Care as a Patient Safety Strategy: A Systematic Review." Annals of Internal Medicine 158, no. 5 pt. 2 (2013): 397-403.
Why this matters here
Kwan and colleagues’ 2013 Annals of Internal Medicine systematic review examines medication reconciliation across transitions of care as a strategy for identifying and resolving unintentional medication discrepancies. Why Collaboration Is So Hard stages that work in a crowded discharge scene where pharmacy comparison of overlapping prescriptions competes with time pressure, family concern, and throughput metrics. The source reviews reconciliation as patient-safety practice; the book asks why collaboration fails when care’s clock and the system’s clock no longer match.
