Medication histories are critical in preventing prescription errors and their hazards to patients during surgery. All currently and recently given drugs, previous adverse drug reactions, including hypersensitivity reactions, over-the-counter medications, herbal or alternative medicines, and adherence to therapy should all be included in an excellent medical prescription. It’s one of the most important pieces of information required by surgeons. Medical prescriptions are significant because they allow surgeons to learn about the patient’s allergies and the antibodies they have taken.
Discharge Summary
A discharge summary is a handover document that describes why the patient was hospitalized and what occurred to them while in the hospital.
