Why is it important to have an accurate list of your home medications?
Having the right list of your medications is crucial for your safety.
Doctors and nurses make important decisions about your care based on what medications you take at home. If your list isn’t correct, you could be given the wrong medication or miss out on something you really need.
That’s why it’s important to keep your medication list up to date and share exactly what you take—including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements.
You and your family play a key role in making sure your list is accurate.
Our goal is to get this information as soon as possible when you’re admitted, as part of our commitment to keeping you safe.
