Italian term

ricognizione [terapia]

Italian to English Medical Medical: Health Care
In a patient's bedside temperature chart, it says:

ricognizione terapia domiziliare o ricognizione all'ingresso

This seem to be an Italian legislative thing - if you google, you get "Riconciliazione farmacologica"

What's the EN equivalent ?

"The steps in medication reconciliation are seemingly straightforward.7 For a newly hospitalized patient, the steps include obtaining and verifying the patient’s medication history, documenting the patient’s medication history, writing orders for the hospital medication regimen, and creating a medication administration record. At discharge, the steps include determining the postdischarge medication regimen, developing discharge instructions for the patient for home medications, educating the patient, and transmitting the medication list to the followup physician. For patients in ambulatory settings, the main steps include documenting a complete list of the current medications and then updating the list whenever medications are added or changed."

Verification and reconciliation I found these terms to translate "Ricognizione e Riconciliazione"

"Medication reconciliation is designed to avoid the most common medication errors: inadvertently omitting a medication a patient was taking at home during a hospital stay; failing to ensure that home medications temporarily stopped during a hospital stay are restarted when the patient is transferred or discharged; duplicating medication orders either because the patient may already be taking the drug or due to confusion between brand and generic versions of a drug or formulary substitutions; as well as prescribing incorrect dosages. Medication reconciliation involves a three-step process: verification (collecting an accurate medication history); clarification (ensuring that the medications and doses are appropriate); and reconciliation (documenting every single change and making sure it “squares” with all the other medication information). These steps are more difficult than they might appear."

Ricognizione e Riconciliazione Buongiorno Lirka, in realtà i due termini, hanno sfumature diverse:
- ricognizione terapeutica: (I FASE) è la raccolta di dati riguardanti il paziente, i suoi stili di vita, le sue patologie e la terapia farmacologica in atto (nome, posologia, modalità di somministrazione, orari di somministrazione, periodo di inizio della somministrazione...)
-riconciliazione terapeutica: (II FASE) il medico prima di una nuova prescrizione prende atto della scheda di ricognizione e confrontando la terapia in corso con quella necessaria a quel nuovo momento clinico effettua una riconciliazione. Sospende eventuali farmaci, ne aggiunge altri, rimuove le sovrapposizioni.

Da quanto esposto, la ricognizione sarebbe assimilibabile a una sorta di "medical history" ma non sono sicuro che possa esistere un termine in inglese più specifico.

14 Jul 2020 — Medicines reconciliation (how to check you have the right medicines) Medicines reconciliation is the process of accurately listing a person's medicines. This could be when they're admitted into a service or when their treatment changes.

 The National Prescribing Centre defines medicines reconciliation as:
o Collecting information on medication history (prior to admission) using
the most recent and accurate sources of information to create a full and
current list of medicines, e.g. GP repeat prescribing record
supplemented by information from the patient and/or carer, and
o Checking or verifying this list against the current inpatient
prescription/summary care record and administration record in the
hospital, ensuring any discrepancies are accounted for and actioned
appropriately, and
o Communicating through appropriate documentation, any changes,
omissions and discrepancies

I would have thought "reconciliation" would cover everything.
