Reconciling Medications

The Coalition, in cooperation with our Collaborative members, have developed example tools such as forms, policies, staff and patient education materials to support adoption of the safety procedures. We appreciate the organizations who have shared their materials and urge you to continue using the attributions included with all the example materials so those who have volunteered to share their resources may get credit for their hard work.
