4 Admission (Etchells et al.) Acute Care (Norton et al.) ICU (Donchin et al, Critical Care Med 1995) Transfer (LEE et al, Ann Pharmacother. 2010) Discharge (Forster et al, CMAJ 2004) - Errors in medications 54% - 40% potential serious harm - Canadian Adverse Events Study: - 1 in 9 patients are potentially given the wrong medication or wrong dose. - 1.7 errors per patient per day in ICU - 40% with potential for serious harm - 62% of patients had errors on transfer - 36% with potential for serious harm mostly omitted meds - Biggest contributing factor: lack of a BPMH (best possible medication history) - 56% of patients discharged had adverse drug events; Harm ranged: -68% only symptoms -6%with permanent disability or death - In 50% of cases the adverse event was either preventable or ameliorable Evidence in the Literature

5 Why is this not being done on SCM or Netcare? Current SCM cannot create a functional home medication list…. yet. The pharmacy uploads to Netcare are NOT proper medication lists (and never will be). They reflect medications dispensed, not medications taken – this can only obtained though history. Med Rec can get on Netcare using your discharge summary.

8 Transferring doctor to handwrite any medications that appear on the BPMH that do not appear on this list and document reasons for omission. Transferring doctor to compare these meds with the home med list and document reasons for any changes. Eg: transfer from surg to hospitalist

9 A Medication Reconciliation at Transitions of Care report has been developed in the current 5.0 version of SCM MedRec Transitions of Care Report in SCM

10 Discharge – 3 Ways to do a Summary 1.SCM discharge summary – compare current meds to the home med list (BPMH), and type the reasons for changes into the white box below the med list. 2.Dictated discharge summary – same as above, but after dictating the meds for discharge, dictate the reasons for changes from the home med list. 3.Handwritten – Do Med Rec on the Form. In your discharge order, request the form be photocopied and faxed to the family doctor.

15 What about patient or community pharmacist involvement? Patients: A resource developed by the HQCA is available in print, and on the AHS website. Pharmacists: There is a fee code for doing a patient interview and creating a medication list. Currently it requires a phone call to the pharmacist to obtain this list, if it is done.
