Med Rec NPSG 03.06.01

All,
I am interested to see how hospitals are complying with JCAHO's National Patient Safety Goal 03.06.01: "Compare the medication information the patient brought to the hospital with the medications ordered
for the patient by the hospital in order to identify and resolve discrepancies.
Note: Discrepancies include omissions, duplications, contraindications, unclear information, and changes. A qualified individual, identified by the hospital, does the comparison."

Is someone in your hospital actually comparing post-admission inpatient ordered medications with med rec history done prior to admission on every patient at some point? If so, a) when is this done, and b) by whom?
Thanks
