| Medication reconciliation challenges, confuses ASCs |
| Medication reconciliation is not only the most difficult National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) surgery centers have to comply with, it has also created confusion among some in the field about who gets the medication list when the patient is discharged.

"There have been a few who expect the medication list to be sent to the next or primary provider of care. But most have not and are fine if you give it to the patient and tell the patient to bring it to their provider." |
