Medication Count by Drug Class Checklist

What This Checklist Does

Medication reconciliation is critical for patient safety. Pharmacists need to identify every medication a patient is taking, verify complete prescribing information, and flag potential concerns like polypharmacy or missing dosing details.

This checklist extracts every medication from a patient record, classifies each by drug class, and flags entries missing drug name, dose, route, or frequency. Results are grouped by class with counts to quickly identify polypharmacy patterns.

Works with medication lists, discharge summaries, and any clinical document listing patient medications.

Medication Count by Drug Class

Locate every medication listed in this document and record its drug class so a downstream script can group by class and show counts. Create one check per medication. Do not assess the appropriateness of any medication or combination — surface what is listed for the reviewer to evaluate.

- For each medication listed in the document, create a separate check. Mark as passed if the medication entry includes the drug name, dose, route, and frequency. Mark as failed if any of those are missing or if a potential drug interaction or safety concern is noted in the document. #value — save as 'drug_class,1' where drug_class is the lowercase pharmacological class (e.g. 'antibiotic,1', 'analgesic,1', 'ace_inhibitor,1', 'statin,1', 'antidiabetic,1', 'calcium_channel_blocker,1', 'proton_pump_inhibitor,1'). Place the highlight around the medication row or mention.
