Medication Reconciliation that Promotes Patient Safety AND Increases Clinician Efficiency

Date: September 25, 2008
Time: 02:00pm ET
Hosted by: Health Data Management
Duration: 1 hour
Sponsor: FirstDataBank

It's been two and a half years since the Joint Commission mandate on medication reconciliation. Chances are your organization is still working on making it effective. Even if you have passed the survey, perhaps using a paper/manual system, there is still a better approach to reduce the strain on clinicians and the system in general.

Join us for this complimentary Web seminar on making this critically important patient safety initiative more manageable and efficient. Two veterans of medication reconciliation will share their first hand experiences with hospitals struggling to meet the mandate and specific and practical ways for making medication reconciliation work, including:

- What's new with the mandate for 2009
- Why organizations continue to struggle with medication reconciliation
- How and why a physician-designed medication reconciliation system works the way it does-and what to look for in your solution.
- Converting home medications to inpatient orders as part of a streamlined admission process.
- Unlocking patient home meds from retail pharmacy and claims data
- Providing choices-natural to physician workflow-that speed completion of reconciliation.
- Tackling the discharge process, including effective medication discharge instructions for the patient.

Bring your organization's specific questions to take advantage of the experiences of these medication reconciliation specialists during the live Q & A session.

Speaking panel:

- Dewey Howell, MD, PhD, Founder CEO, Design Clinicals
