| Med rec survey highlights compliance trouble spots |
| Originally introduced as a National Patient Safety Goal by The Joint Commission in 2005, medication reconciliation remains a challenge for many hospitals.
HCPro recently surveyed 43 facilities to find out what methods, policies, and procedures most healthcare facilities use to implement the medication reconciliation process.
