Review Context and Medication Sources

Record the context for the medication review.
Identify all sources used to build the best possible medication list.
All active prescription, OTC, supplement, inhaled, topical, and PRN medications are captured.
Recent starts, stops, dose changes, or frequency changes that may affect safety were identified and documented.

Medication List Reconciliation

Each prescription medication name, dose, route, and frequency matches the most current order or discharge instruction.
OTC products, vitamins, herbal products, and nutritional supplements are included in the reconciliation.
As-needed medications include a documented indication, maximum daily dose, and safe use instructions when applicable.
Potential duplicate therapy within the same class or with overlapping ingredients was checked and resolved or escalated.
Any missing medications, unintended gaps, or stopped therapies were identified and communicated for follow-up.

Drug Regimen Review: Safety and Interaction Screening

The regimen was screened for clinically significant interactions, including additive sedation, bleeding risk, QT prolongation, and CNS depression where relevant.
The regimen was screened for conditions such as renal impairment, hepatic impairment, diabetes, heart failure, COPD, falls risk, or anticoagulation risk when applicable.
Symptoms, vitals, or observations suggestive of adverse drug effects were assessed and documented.
Allergies, adverse reactions, and intolerances were reviewed against the current regimen.
The regimen was reviewed for medication burden, high-risk combinations, and opportunities to simplify therapy or reduce risk.

Adherence, Administration, and Patient Understanding

The patient or caregiver can explain dose, route, timing, and purpose for key medications as appropriate.
Identify barriers that may affect safe adherence.
Technique for inhalers, injections, eye drops, insulin, anticoagulants, or other special forms was observed or confirmed when applicable.
Pillbox, blister packs, labels, schedules, or other supports are adequate for the patient’s regimen and abilities.

Communication, Escalation, and Follow-Up

Medication discrepancies, safety concerns, or unresolved questions were communicated to the appropriate licensed provider.
A plan exists for clarifying orders, obtaining missing medications, monitoring adverse effects, or rechecking the regimen.
Education was provided on medication purpose, schedule, side effects, red flags, and when to seek help.
Any critical issue such as severe reaction, overdose risk, contraindicated combination, or missing life-sustaining medication was escalated without delay.

Documentation and Sign-Off

The chart includes the reconciled medication list, discrepancies, actions taken, and any unresolved items.
