AI assessment

In 4 of 6 interviews, staff described reconciliation as a pharmacy-only task and could not describe the transfer step. Documented workflow in v2.0 of the procedure does not assign an accountable role at internal transfer.

Why it matters

Unreconciled medication at transfer is a leading contributor to preventable adverse drug events, and surveyors routinely trace this at the point of care rather than in policy.

Potential surveyor follow-up

  • Who is accountable for reconciliation when a patient moves from ICU to a ward?
  • Show me a reconciliation completed in the last 24 hours.
  • How are discrepancies escalated and documented?
