Medication reconciliation is critical for successful care transitions, especially for high-risk patients with chronic conditions and complex medication regimens. These populations are responsible for the majority of hospital admissions and readmissions, at rates much higher than the general population. In large part these are due to the difficulty for care teams to access and interpret a patient’s complete and accurate medication information at the time of a transition from hospital to rehab or home.
This educational webinar explores how technology-enabled medication reconciliation can bridge these gaps while reducing the burden on clinical staff with limited resources. Speakers will share evidence-based strategies that combine advanced data integration with clinical expertise to detect potential adverse drug events and errors of omission during or following a care transition. Discover how implementing smart, scalable, comprehensive medication reconciliation during transitions of care can significantly reduce readmission rates, enhance patient safety, and improve outcomes for high-risk populations.
Learning objectives:
• Identify the key medication reconciliation challenges contributing to readmissions for chronic disease populations
• Evaluate how technology can automate the assembly of comprehensive medication histories from multiple data sources
• Apply evidence-based risk frameworks to prioritize interventions for patients at highest risk during care transitions
• Implement strategies that enable pharmacists to work at the top of their licenses while improving care coordination
