From the AHAP Blog: Joint Commission announces field review for med rec

The Joint Commission has announced the field review of its revised medication reconciliation requirement, which it has designated as National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) 03.07.01.

The field review comes after The Joint Commission announced it would make the existing medication reconciliation goal NPSG one with which hospitals had to comply, but about which they would not be surveyed. The 2010 NPSGs contain language about medication reconciliation, but the field has widely expected an announcement about what will become of the goal.
