Medication Review Emergency Sheet preview
Who this sheet helps
This sheet may help adults, caregivers, older adults, people with several prescriptions, people who see multiple clinicians, and families preparing for appointments, hospital transitions, or caregiver handoffs.
Why this may matter in an emergency
A caregiver, family member, urgent care team, ER team, EMS team, clinician, or pharmacist may need to know where the current medication list came from and when it was last reviewed.
A medication review sheet can help organize that information, but it should not be used to make medication decisions.
Provider-recommended handoff notes
A primary care office, specialist, pharmacist, nurse, or discharge team may recommend that patients keep a medication list and questions ready. Keep notes about organization prompts only.
Which clinician or pharmacy last reviewed the list
Which medication list source is most current
Which questions should be brought to a clinician or pharmacist
Who helps update the list when something changes
Where to keep it
Keep copies with medications, in an emergency binder, refrigerator folder, wallet, purse, appointment folder, discharge folder, caregiver packet, or go-bag.
Avoid placing unnecessary sensitive information on a visible copy. Keep the list readable and current.
When to update it
Review the sheet when a medication starts, stops, changes, expires, or is reviewed; when allergies, pharmacy, prescribers, supplements, OTC medicines, caregiver contacts, or medication list sources change; and after hospital discharge if paperwork lists medication changes.
Privacy and safety notes
