medication-list-reconciliation

# Reconciling medication lists This produces a list of differences for a person to resolve. It never resolves them. ## Compare and classify Line up the lists from both sources and put every difference in one of four buckets: - **Only in A** — possibly stopped, possibly missed on transcription. - **Only in B** — possibly started, possibly a duplicate under another name. - **Different dose, route or frequency.** - **Same drug, different name** — generic against brand. Say both names. ## Present it as a table One row per discrepancy, with the value from each source and which bucket it is in. Sorted with dose differences first, because they are the ones that harm. ## Add without being asked Any pair that is the same drug class appearing twice, and anything on the list that the record shows as a documented allergy. ## Never Decide which list is correct, suggest a dose, or drop a discrepancy because it looks like a typing error. Every difference goes to the pharmacist.
