Sometimes patients are admitted with out resuming all their home medications (example: Vitamins, supplements, etc.) The only option is the discontinue them from the home medication list or order them with the med rec and then delete the order after the reconciliation is complete. I think an option for "Continue without ordering" would be beneficial so the medication orders don't get taken away.
Not all medications must be addressed during Admission Medication Reconciliation.
Any unaddressed medications remain on the Home Medication list.
Marking a Home Medication as Do Not Continue during Admission Medication Reconciliation does not discontinue that Home Medication.
The medication remains available for any additional action whether that is to continue later during the stay or continue at discharge.
It does mark that the medication was not continued on the Medication Reconciliation screen.
