General objective: Contribute to the reduction of medication errors in the Cancer and Hematology Center of the Metropolitan Hospital by developing a medication reconciliation protocol that improves the safety of patients who begin treatment at this Center. Methodology: review and development of a medication reconciliation protocol composed of five sections, which allows the detection of errors and discrepancies in oncology patients at the medical center.
