Section 1
The premise
AI can take a raw medication list and produce a reconciliation worksheet that groups by class, flags duplicates, and lists questions to ask at the visit.
What AI does well here
- Cluster meds by therapeutic class to surface unintentional duplications
- Generate a one-page patient-friendly worksheet for the visit
What AI cannot do
- Decide which interaction is clinically meaningful for this patient
- Replace a pharmacist's reconciliation against the dispensing record

Section 2
AI and Medication Reconciliation: Comparing Med Lists
Section 3
The premise
AI can take two medication lists and produce a side-by-side diff that flags additions, removals, dose changes, and class duplications.
What AI does well here
- Spot dose-form mismatches and class duplications
- Group changes into add, remove, change, and unchanged
What AI cannot do
- Decide whether a change is intentional or an error
- Substitute for pharmacist-led reconciliation

AI and Medication Reconciliation: Pulling Sources Together Without Inventing Doses
Section 5
The premise
Admission med rec pulls from the PCP list, the SNF MAR, the pharmacy fill history, and the patient's plastic bag of bottles. Reconciling takes 45 minutes per admission. AI can collate in 90 seconds — and confidently invent a dose that was never prescribed.
What AI does well here
- Merge multiple medication lists into a single deduplicated table.
- Flag dose discrepancies between sources for human resolution.
- Surface high-risk interactions when a new med is added.
- Generate the patient-facing medication card.
What AI cannot do
- Verify what the patient is actually taking at home — that's the interview.
- Know which OTC, herbal, or recreational meds the patient won't volunteer.
- Decide which med to discontinue — that's the prescriber.
