Book excerpt: Medication accuracy at transitions in care represents one of five challenging global patient safety problems identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) for intervention in their multinational, collaborative High 5s Project. Medication reconciliation performed at discharge specifically refers to the reconciliation or auditing of medications taken before and during admission with the medications to be taken post-discharge, in order to resolve any unintentional changes or discrepancies, such as omissions and duplications, before the patient leaves the hospital. Three main sources of information are consulted to reconcile medications at discharge and create the Best Possible Medication Discharge Plan (BPMDP): Best Possible Medication History (BPMH) of medications taken prior to admission; medication administration record (MAR) from the last 24 hours (or most current medication profile) of medications taken during hospitalization; discharge medication orders for new medications to be taken post-discharge. The present review was conducted to provide a summary of the available evidence on medication reconciliation at hospital discharge to support the implementation of standard, evidence-based procedures across hospitals.

Book excerpt: Unplanned hospital readmissions can be costly for patients, organizations, and providers and are linked to poor quality care. Billions of health care dollars are spent annually on avoidable readmissions (Black 2014). Many hospital readmissions are due to medication-related events post hospital discharge. Medications are frequently changed during hospitalization and research shows transitions in care are critical junctures for accurate communication and medication reconciliation. Consequently, discharge medication lists often include discrepancies and duplications for home medication regimens; incorrect medication reconciliation records at discharge can result in adverse drug reactions (ADRs.) The absence of an updated medication reconciliation record on discharge is one of the primary barriers to continuity of medication administration (Elliot and others, 2012). Patient understanding and medication availability promotes better medication compliance post discharge. Many hospital discharges involve elderly adults and complex medication regimens that are difficult to manage create unsafe environments for susceptible individuals. The article, "Care Transitions Service: A Pharmacy-driven Program for Medication Reconciliation Through the Continuum of Care," identified how multidisciplinary team involvement can be beneficial for addressing patient understanding and education resulting in improved medication adherence (Conklin, Togami, Burnett, Dodd, and Ray, 2014). A systematic, formal, comprehensive process in which nurses work together with pharmacy to improve compliance and reduce medication errors is thought to ensure an accurate and complete medication list to improve patient compliance and decrease medication related 30-day readmissions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996 the Institute of Medicine launched the Quality Chasm Series, a series of reports focused on assessing and improving the nation's quality of health care. Preventing Medication Errors is the newest volume in the series. Responding to the key messages in earlier volumes of the seriesâ€"To Err Is Human (2000), Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), and Patient Safety (2004)â€"this book sets forth an agenda for improving the safety of medication use. It begins by providing an overview of the system for drug development, regulation, distribution, and use. Preventing Medication Errors also examines the peer-reviewed literature on the incidence and the cost of medication errors and the effectiveness of error prevention strategies. Presenting data that will foster the reduction of medication errors, the book provides action agendas detailing the measures needed to improve the safety of medication use in both the short- and long-term. Patients, primary health care providers, health care organizations, purchasers of group health care, legislators, and those affiliated with providing medications and medication- related products and services will benefit from this guide to reducing medication errors.
Book Synopsis Improving Medication Reconciliation on Admission and Discharge in the Behavioral Health Adult Partial Hospitalization Program by : Jiawei Tabayoyong
Download or read book Improving Medication Reconciliation on Admission and Discharge in the Behavioral Health Adult Partial Hospitalization Program written by Jiawei Tabayoyong and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project aims to improve medication reconciliation upon admission and discharge to 90 percent within four months in Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). PHP is an intensive day treatment program for adults who need crisis intervention or short-term stabilization. It also helps clients make the transition from inpatient care to home. Before and after implementation, we conducted a workflow assessment, staff surveys, and chart audits. Before implementation, medication reconciliation was completed 60% of the time upon admission and 25% of the time at discharge. We have clarified the roles and responsibilities. I created a PowerPoint presentation with many screenshots to show the physicians and nurses step-by-step how to reconcile medications in EPIC. I also created a tip sheet for them. All the physicians and nurses have attended the medication reconciliation training except for one psychiatrist who is on vacation. We have addressed some EHR design issues, so it requires less clicks and less time to complete the medication reconciliation process. Therefore, we are making good progress, although the post implementation data collection has not yet finished. The expected outcomes are a reduction in medication errors and hospital re-admissions and an increase in staff and physician satisfaction.

Book Synopsis Keeping Patients Safe by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Keeping Patients Safe written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-27 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.

This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 1364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the preface to this impressive and well-produced book, the editors state that their aim is not to describe a new surgical specialty, since most surgeons will soon need to be "geriatric surgeons," but to assemble a comprehensive account that will allow "all providers of healthcare to the elderly to understand the issues involved in choosing surgery as a treatment option for their patients." This is a useful book that deserves to do well. I hope that the editors and their publisher will have the stamina to make this the first of several editions, as it is clear that updated information about surgery in the elderly will be required to keep pace with this important field."
