• The Medication History Technicians perform medication reconciliation, which is a process to decrease medication errors and patient harm in the following ways:

• Considering the patient’s pre-admission/home medication list when ordering medicines during a hospital encounter and continuing home medications as appropriate, and comparing the patient’s pre-admission/home medication list to ordered medicines and treatment plans to identify unintended discrepancies (i.e., those not explained by the patient’s clinical condition or formulary status).
• Verifying the patient’s home medication list and discussing unintended discrepancies with the physician for resolution.
• Providing an updated medication list and communicating the importance of managing medication information to the patient when he or she is discharged from the hospital or at the end of an outpatient encounter
