Separation of DME and Medications from patient home med list

Good morning,

We had several incidents where staff will discontinue orders for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) when conducting medication reconciliation. We currently having them as part of patient home medications list.

Does anyone have similar experience with this? I am interested in learning what system changes you implemented to help address this issue?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Sincerely,
Mohamed Sarg
