As per PHCC policy, medication reconciliation is mandatory to provide safe practice and comprehensive patient care. It is noted that the rate of medication reconciliation done in Alwajba HC is not meeting the target for the PHCC which may affect the patient safety. Based on the comprehensive assessment of medication reconciliation practices at Alwajba Health Center, a multi-faceted intervention strategy was devised. The interventions were meticulously designed to address the identified knowledge gaps and system-related challenges. The effective improvement of medication reconciliation procedures has a big impact on patient safety and overall healthcare quality. Improved patient outcomes result from lowering the likelihood of adverse drug events and guaranteeing correct treatment regimens.
