Medication reconciliation can help providers identify potential safety issues during medication administration. Based on interviews with stakeholders, this study examined medication reconciliation practices across Canadian cancer centers. Although a high proportion of the centers had a process for collecting best possible medication history (BPMH, 81%), implementation of a complete medication reconciliation process was uncommon. Stakeholders identified several barriers to implementation, including lack of resources and a lack of electronic health record interoperability across institutions, systems, and community pharmacies.
