This paper provides an overview of shared medication lists (SMLs) in four Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) with a focus on the type of information the list is based on. This is a structured comparison conducted in stages using an expert group, grey papers, unpublished materials, web pages, as well as scientific papers. Denmark and Finland have implemented their solutions for an SML and Norway and Sweden are working on the implementation of their solution. Denmark and Norway have or are aiming at a list based on medication orders, while Finland and Sweden have lists based on prescriptions.
