Hi All: I am newly active on the list, but have been lurking for awhile. I finally decided that I need some input on this issue. When a doctor admits a patient, instead of writing the patient's entire medication list in the chart they write "meds as at home" or "see nursing home list." Then the nurse is supposed to track down a list of meds from home or the nursing home and transcribe them into the hosptial chart. I don't have a lot of experience, but I feel funny about this process and am wondering how common it is. If I have nothing to worry about, that's fine, but I am just looking for a little advice. Thanks, Mel
