Medication reconciliation.
Medication reconciliation is the process of comparing every medication your parent is actually taking against the list on record to catch errors, duplicates, and dangerous combinations.
Every time your parent changes settings, from home to hospital to rehab and back, the medication list can drift. A drug gets added, another gets stopped, doses change, and the paperwork does not always keep up. Reconciliation is the deliberate check that lines it all up.
It means gathering everything, prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements, and matching it against what the doctors think your parent is on. The goal is to catch duplicates, gaps, and combinations that should not be taken together.
This is one of the highest-value things a family can help with, especially at discharge. Bringing an accurate, current list to every appointment and hospital stay prevents a lot of avoidable harm.
