4. The Steps of Medication Reconciliation
Obtaining/Documenting the most complete and accurate list possible of all current medications.
Comparing the listed medications with any new orders to reconcile discrepancies.
Updating the list as orders change during the visit/stay and making necessary and appropriate medication changes based on the patient’s clinical condition.
Communicating updated list to the next provider of service when the patient is transferred to another setting, service, practitioner or level of care within or outside the organization.
An updated list of the patient’s medications is provided to the patient and to the next giver of care at discharge or transfer.

7. Active Medication List – Actions Definitions and Guidelines
New Medication
Adds a new medication to the active med list. May also be used to free text a med (unknown med) or add a supply item. Should be used when the ordering provider adds a new medication to the patient routine
Can also be used to record medications that the patient reports taking, although is not already on the active med list or has not been prescribed by the recording provider. The clinician may select: “Recording Medication Only/Not Prescribing” to differentiate between ordering the med and documenting the med. The documenting provider can indicate that the medication was prescribed by another provider, is over the counter or provide an “other reason”. In addition, the documenting provider may select “dosage uncertain” if the patient can not provide the necessary dosage/instruction information.
Inactivate
Removes a med from the active med list and places it on the “Inactive” (previously known as “D/C”) med list. Medications on the inactive med list can be ‘reactivated’ and added back to the active med list
Used when a provider decides to cease a medication
Can be used when a patient reports that they are no longer taking or have been taken off a medication
Verify
Used to document that a patient confirms that they are taking the med as prescribed.
Can be used to document that a patient reports that they are NOT taking a medication listed on the active med list (see “Not Taking” Action). This should be used by providers who wish to document that the patient is not taking the medication but do not want to inactivate the med/remove it from the active med list. Intended to be a notification to the ordering or next provider as “Not Taking” appears next to medication name on the active med list.

8. Active Medication List – Actions Definitions and Guidelines
Modify
Allows the clinician to alter dosage, instructions, duration, frequency, quantity, refills, etc.
Should be used when the provider changes or updates the prescription OR a patient indicates that dosage or instructions have changed
Renew-
Used to quickly review and renew an active medication of the same dose and instructions.
Not Taking/Not Taking As Prescribed-
The user is brought to the VERIFY Screen
Can be used to identify medications that the patient has reported that they are not taking or are not taking according to the instructions documented on the active med list
This should be used by providers who wish to document that the patient is not taking the medication as prescribed but do not want to inactivate the med/remove it from the active med list. Intended to be a notification to the ordering or next provider as “Not Taking” appears next to medication name on the active med list.
