Medication reconciliation is a practice that is underutilized in hospitals and primary care settings, and as a result the geriatric population is experiencing frequent ER visits and hospital readmission's. The geriatric population is subject to injury due to medication errors more than any other group. Medication reconciliation is an important part of safely caring for the geriatric population and can decrease the number of inappropriate medications that are prescribed. (Moro, 2016)
