Medication reconciliation in intensive care units of a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia: An evaluation of medication discrepancies
This study demonstrated many medication discrepancies among patients discharged from ICUs at KSUMC University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The lack of a systematic approach to medication reconciliation might contribute to the increased number of medication discrepancies in comparison to multiple studies in different countries exploring the medication discrepancies among ICU patients. Establishing a process that includes pharmacist-driven medication reconciliation is needed.
