Medication Reconciliation in Cerner In Cerner, Medication Reconciliation is the process of: converting Home Medications onto the MAR converting medications from the MAR onto a discharge prescription
Medication Reconciliation Challenges Drugs with a duration The option to CONTINUE a medication does not produce a prescription No quantity for medications on conversion to a discharge prescription Incongruity between dose unit and dispense quantity
Medication Reconciliation Challenges Current medication catalogue build does not have state Hide / Show rules applied
Drug Catalogue Primary M-Synonym = Primary + strength + form Y-Synonym = M-Synonym + pack size Brand / Trade N-Synonym = Trade + strength + form Z-Synonym = N-Synonym + pack size
Medication Reconciliation Challenges Current medication catalogue build does not have state Hide / Show rules applied Medications in CareSets and Power Plans
Opportunities from Challenges Eastern Health is keen to make Medication Reconciliation happen Start with Discharge Medication Reconciliation Electronic Medication Reconciliation would benefit the Pharmacy with their communication about patients transferred between sites.
Opportunities from Challenges Pressure on DoH to implement HIDE / SHOW rules Prompt of ‘duration’ for medications with a duration Training for prescribers to ignore the ‘CONTINUE’ options Review medications in CareSets and Power Plans Find a solution to the blank quantity challenge
