Abstract: Medication reconciliation is a crucial process that aims to ensure accurate and comprehensive medication information for patients as they transition across different healthcare settings. Medication errors and discrepancies during these transitions can lead to adverse events, potentially compromising patient safety and outcomes. Nursing technicians and pharmacy technicians play a vital role in supporting and facilitating medication reconciliation efforts, contributing to the reduction of medication errors and improving the continuity of care. This paper explores the importance of accurate medication histories, the involvement of nursing and pharmacy technicians in the reconciliation process, and their potential impact on reducing medication errors and enhancing transitions of care. By examining the roles and responsibilities of these technicians, this paper highlights the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration, effective communication, and standardized processes in optimizing medication reconciliation across various healthcare settings.
