Medication reconciliation to facilitate transitions of care after hospitalization.
Liu VC, Garwood CL. Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2015;72:690-693.

This commentary describes a multidisciplinary program developed to improve medication reconciliation that engaged teams of inpatient and outpatient workers (including clinicians, pharmacists, and administrative staff) in performing follow-up phone calls and record review to confirm postdischarge medication regimens.
