Abstract:
Medication reconciliation is a critical part of providing safe oncology care. Small errors in medication management can affect patients' outcomes. Optimal cancer care requires multiple disciplines to act in concert. Too often, disciplines do not communicate efficiently or rely on assumptions of patient knowledge to coordinate care. This case study examines one patient's course that was compromised by such assumptions and suggests systems-based improvements which can prevent similar occurrences.
