Patient's own meds NOT taken during hospitalization

Hi Everyone,

We have a process for a patient to take their own supply of med(s) in the hospital. We need help with patient meds Not to be taken while in the hospital. The current process is to have the supply go home with family or a care taker. This is not working. So, I am curious to hear what other sites are doing.

Thank you,

Margaret
