  3. Background

  4. What exactly is Medicines Reconciliation? IHI Definition “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” (Cambridge, 2008)

  5. Patient enters hospital Drug History Taken, Chart written Medicines Reconciliation? Validation of Drug History

  6. Via A&E Direct to Ward Pre admissions Doctor Nurse Pharmacist Doctor Pharmacist Nurse Doctor Pharmacist Patient counselled Discharge written Patient enters Hospital Drug history taken Drug chart written Patient moves wards POD /MDS Patient EHR Discharge info Community Pharmacy NH GP list ITC Home Care Home Patient Discharged Drug history verified Discharge Information Communicated Pharmacist Technician GP DN CP SS Care Home Discharge Information processed CP, GP, Admin Staff Pharmacist, DN

  7. Where does it go wrong? • Medication history taking • Not using all available sources • Inaccurate prescribing • Lack of verification by pharmacy staff • Handover • Patient counselling • Communication • Not knowing what has been stopped and started • Not knowing why something has been stopped started • Timeliness of discharge

  8. What’s worked? Evidence • Predominantly US studies • Isolated aspects of process • Predominantly secondary care • Admission • Discharge • Few primary care • Care of the Elderly/ A&E • Role of the Health Care Professional • Pharmacist • Nurse

  9. Admission • A&E • Prescription chart initiated in A&E (Mills & McGuffie 2010) • MR increased from 50-100% • Rx chart from 6-80% • Prescribing Error rate decreased from 3.3 to0.04 • Encourage Ambulance to bring in PODS (Chan et al 2009, 2010) • Percentage of medicines incorrectly prescribed decreased from 18.9 to 8.8%

  10. Discharge • Discharge • Pharmacist discharge service (de Clifford et al 2009, Morrison et al 2004) • Communication with community Pharmacists • Pegrumet al , Cook 1995 • Identification of discrepancies by CP (Paulinoet al 2004) • Counselling • Increases number of interventions (Karapinar 2009) • Patient Information Proforma (Manning et al 2010) • Decreases number of ADE after discharge (Schnipper 2006) • Counselling on discharge by Community Pharmacists (Hugtenburget al 2009)

  11. Primary Care • Lack of evidence on Med Rec • Robust repeat prescribing systems • Ensure systems for processing information are robust

  12. Standardisation • Forms/process • Pre-clinic questionnaire (Tattersall et al 2008) • Med Rec form (Bedard et al 2010) • IT • Kiosk technology for DH taking (Lesselroth et al 2009) • Nationwide on-line prescription records (Glintborg et al ) • Natural language processing (Cimino et al ) • PAML builder (Turchin et al 2008)
