Σύνοψη	Medication Reconciliation is a systematic process of identifying and resolving discrepancies between the medications a patient should be taking and what they are actually taking. Endorsed by The Joint Commission as a National Patient Safety Goal, medication reconciliation occurs at critical transition points such as hospital admission, transfer between units, and discharge. The process reduces medication errors and adverse drug events that can result from omissions, duplications, or interactions.	The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a widely validated diagnostic tool developed by Sharon K. Inouye and colleagues to detect delirium in hospitalized patients. Delirium is an acute change in mental status characterized by inattention, disorganized thinking, and altered consciousness that is often missed in clinical practice. The CAM provides a standardized, reproducible method for identifying delirium, which is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and hospital costs.
