Max Discharge Meds

Today I filled out the discharge paperwork for a patient, sending him home with 15 home meds. My question is, shouldn't we just let him live at the hospital. I believe that is a record.

The worst part was that I had to fill out the scripts, then retranscribe the info into the discharge summary then rewrite the info again into his home health care request.

On the way out the door with his sister, he complained to me that he was on too many meds.
