Resumen	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.	Patient Fall Risk Assessment is a systematic clinical evaluation process used to identify hospitalized or institutionalized patients at increased risk of falling. Falls are a major cause of injury and mortality in healthcare settings, particularly among older adults. The assessment considers intrinsic patient factors (e.g., age, medical conditions, medications) and extrinsic environmental factors (e.g., lighting, equipment, flooring) to guide preventive interventions.
