Documentation of medication changes in inpatient clinical notes: an audit to support quality improvement.
CONCLUSIONS: Revealing substantial gaps in communication about medication changes during psychiatric admission, this audit sheds light on a previously undescribed source of medication error, warranting attention. Further research is needed to examine barriers to best practice, to support design and implementation of quality improvement activities but in the interim, attention should be addressed to development and articulation of content and procedures for documentation.
