The goal of medication reconciliation is to reduce adverse drug events (ADEs) when a patient undergoes transition of care. Many medication history errors occur upon admission to or discharge from a clinical unit of the hospital. Effective preventability strategies for the reduction of medication errors and subsequent ADEs have been found through successful medication reconciliation processes. Hospitals must develop and communicate an accurate patient medication list throughout the duration of care.
