Description
This session will highlight medication reconciliation as the right and safe thing to do - not because it's a regulation. Attendees will become familiar with the best practices for perfecting medication reconciliation and will deepen their understanding of its importance. Along with a review of current literature (the "Cliff" notes!); available resources and tools; and low-profile, interactive learning with patient case reviews, participants will acquire the knowledge and tools necessary for implementing a complete medication reconciliation program, or for perfecting a program currently in place.
Presentations:
- History of Medication Reconciliation/Literature Review
- Patient Case Reviews and Exercise
- Review of Group Decisions from Case Exercise
- Pharmacy-Driven Reconciliation
