Pharmacists are often involved in obtaining a best possible medication history for patients during transition in care from the community to a health care facility, between wards within a health care facility or upon discharge from a facility. Pharmacists should utilize a standardized, consistent approach to obtaining a best possible medication history to ensure accurate and timely communication of the information to the health care team and documentation in the health care record. Pharmacists and/or certified clinical pharmacy technicians may be involved in initiating or updating a best possible medication history.
