Transfer of Patient Medication Information: Yellow Patient-Held Card

The aim of this project is to develop a district-wide agreed format for the patient-held yellow medication. Historically these cards are completed in hospital and given to patient to take home. The card lists all the patient's current medications in a patient-friendly format. It is hoped that increasing the usage of the card across the district will assist in the transfer of information about a patient's current medications between health professionals. There are challenges with ensuring the information on the card is accurate. Potential electronic solutions will also be discussed.
