Abstract
Among patients at safety-net clinics, inability to name one's antihypertensive medications and discrepancies between patient-reported medications and the medical record were very common. Both were strongly associated with inadequate hypertension control. Performing medication reconciliation at the point of care may be an important way to identify patients at high risk for inadequate disease control or safety problems.
