The Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has outlined a set of National Patient Safety Goals (NPSGs) to promote specific improvements in patient safety. Medication Reconciliation, the process of comparing a patient's medication orders to all of the medications that the patient has been taking across the continuum of care has been identified as part of this patient safety initiative and The Joint Commission indicated that a process must be in place by January 1, 2006. This reconciliation is performed to avoid errors of transcription, omission, duplication of therapy, drug-drug and drug-disease interactions, etc. The Joint Commission has indicated that medication reconciliations need to be performed upon admission, transfers and discharges. However, to be in compliance with NPSG #8, healthcare organizations sometimes need to consolidate medication information from a pharmacy database, an admission system, a surgery system, and possibly others. Lacking a consolidated view of the patient's medications, caregivers would require logons for a variety of systems, as well as the knowledge of how to navigate each system to find and print each list of medications.
The MOMENT OF CARE® Information System consolidates medication data from disparate databases and presents the complete record of medication for the patient for the physician/clinicians to review. Active medications as well as home and surgery medicaitons can be culled, sorted and presented. Additionally, IV and PRN medications can be separated to make the job even easier.
AVOID DRUG INTERACTIONS
Since diagnoses are electronically integrated and presented, the MOMENT OF CARE® can recommend particular pharmaceutical modalities based upon established diagnosis.
SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
With electronic integration of all available drug data, no longer will it be necessary to manually write and rewrite the list of drugs for a particular patient. Thousands of hours can be saved each year by reducing the time spent doing medication reconciliations by as much as 90%.
Improve the level of patient care by reducing time spent on paperwork.
