Completion of medicines reconciliation when patients are transferred between care settings reduces the risk of patients experiencing harm from their medication. It is the responsibility of all healthcare professionals involved in managing the patient’s medication. This policy document has been developed to provide healthcare professionals with information to promote the safe and timely completion of medicines reconciliation and provides guidance on completing the process.
