Medical - Medical (general) / Discharge summary
Danish term or phrase: medicinsanering
This term appears in a discharge summary. I am not sure what we call this in English, but these are some Danish definitions:
"Medicinsanering vil sige at gennemgå ældre patienters samlede medicinliste for at reducere brug af medicin, som kan øge risi- koen for fald." (http://www.sst.dk/publ/Publ2012/08aug/MTV/FaldUsogBehlUdenBi...
"Begrebet ”medicinsanering” bliver oftest anvendt i forbindelse med en grundig medi- cingennemgang af ofte ret omfangsrige medicinlister hos borgere på plejehjem eller i primærsektoren for at få nedbragt forbruget af forskellige lægemidler med kvalitetsløft og besparelse til følge." (http://www.regionh.dk/NR/rdonlyres/BD2F6BD4-9E25-4FC2-A85E-1...

Any suggestions for a similar concept in English (U.S.) would be appreciated.
