Not as an exercise in 'writing down exactly what the patient tells us';but rather a communication tool that allows us to ask "I think that that is an unusual dose (or drug name)." And then we 'reconcile' the information not just for writing it down but as a safety measure for us and as a teaching tool for the patient. Isn’t this exactly why we do medication reconciliation?
