Medication Errors at Hospital Discharge
Tidsramme: Approximately 1-30 days

Medication name, dose, and frequency of administration for patient pre-admission medications will be recorded.

Pre-admission medications will be compared to discharge medications and differences will be considered discharge medication variances.
Two trained pharmacists will independently review medication variances to determine clinical indications or medication errors.
