Provider Medication Reconciliation in the Outpatient Procedural Spaces

Our organization is currently set up to require provider reconciliation of all home medications (continue/discontinue/prescribe)in the outpatient procedural spaces (surgery, endoscopy, radiology, etc) before the after visit summary can be generated and the patient can be discharged. In each location, we do have nursing update the home medication list prior to the procedure so that the providers can "review" the current and updated list of home medications. We are revisiting the expectation the providers have to "reconcile" each medication before the AVS will print and would like a better understanding of what other organizations are doing with regards to the reconciliation function in these spaces.
