Program Abstract

This one-day workshop is designed to provide home health professionals with an overview of transition-related medication incidents and how medication reconciliation (MedRec) adds value in community based patient care.

There will be a specific focus on the importance of the Best Possible Medication History (BPMH) within the medication reconciliation process.
