2 Disclosure and Conflict of Interest I, Julie H. McGinley declare no conflicts of interest, real or apparent, and no financial interests in any company, product, or service mentioned in this program, including grants, employment, gifts, stock holdings, and honoraria.
3 Pharmacist Objectives At the conclusion of this program, the pharmacist will be able to: 1. Explain why it is important to have pharmacists and/or pharmacy technicians involved in medication reconciliation (MR) at transitions of care (TOC). 2. Identify times when TOC MRs should occur. 3. Discuss strategies to implement a pharmacydriven MR program.
4 Technician Objectives At the conclusion of this program, the technician will be able to: 1. Identify high-risk medications which are more likely to lead to patient harm and may require a pharmacist s intervention. 2. Recognize directions for use (Sig codes) which require further clarification. 3. Describe the role of pharmacy technicians with regard to MR at TOC.
5 Pre-Test Question 1 1. Medication reconciliations at TOC are important because: a. The Joint Commission has designated inpatient medication reconciliation as a National Patient Safety Goal b. Errors such as omissions and duplications, dosing changes and new drug-drug interactions can significantly compromise patient safety c. Readmission rates and medication errors decline overall when medications are reconciled d. All of the above
6 Pre-Test Question 2 1. When should a TOC medication reconciliation occur? Choose all that apply: a. Upon emergency department admission b. Upon inpatient admission c. Upon transfer from one unit to another d. Upon transfer from one room to another within the same unit
7 Pre-Test Question 3 1. Which medication falls into a high-risk class and may require a pharmacist s intervention if there is a discrepancy noted during the medication reconciliation? a. apixaban b. hydrocodone c. glipizide d. All of the above
8 Pre-Test Question 4 1. Which directions for use (Sig codes) require further clarification according to the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP)? Choose all that apply: a. MgSO 4 4.0g IV qd b. lisinopril 40 mg po daily c. APAP 500 mg po q 4 6 hours PRN pain d. lorazepam.5 mg po qhs
9 Background Adverse drug events (ADEs) are at the greatest risk of occurring during care transitions There is a reported range of inpatient medication errors from 45% - 76% The Joint Commission and National Patient Safety Goal In medication reconciliation, a clinician compares the medications a patient should be using (and is actually using) to the new medications that are ordered for the patient and resolves any discrepancies. American College of Clinical Pharmacy, et al. Pharmacotherapy Nov;32(11):e Sen S, et al. Am J Health Syst Pharm Jan 1;71(1):51-6. The Joint Commission. Hospital National Patient Safety Goals; 2015.
10 Definitions Medication Reconciliation: A clinician compares the medications a patient should be using (and is actually using) to the new medications that are ordered for the patient and resolves any discrepancies. The process of creating the most accurate list possible of all medications a patient is taking including drug name, dosage, frequency, and route and comparing that list against the physician s admission, transfer, and/or discharge orders, with the goal of providing correct medications to the patient at all transition points within the hospital. The Joint Commission. Hospital National Patient Safety Goals; Institute for Healthcare Improvement
11 Definitions Transitions of Care: At admission, transfer, and discharge Transitions in care both within and outside of an organization A transfer of care At admission (both into the Emergency Department and then to inpatient status) At transfer of care within the hospital (to a different unit or new care provider) At discharge Institute for Healthcare Improvement The Joint Commission. Hospital National Patient Safety Goals; 2015.
