1 Date: December 20, 2010 To: From: Excela Health Medical Staff Excela Health STAR Medication Reconciliation Workgroup Subject: Medication Reconciliation Electronic Conversion Recent Excela Health audits on the accuracy of medication reconciliation have revealed a 12% potential Admission Medication Reconciliation error rate. It was estimated that 61% of the errors could have been avoided by a smarter electronic system since most errors involved the inability to link medication name to dose and route. Thus, the Excela Health Hospital Physician Advisory Councils, Nursing Executive Council and Administration recommended a conversion from Care Manager to STAR Pharmacy as an interim electronic solution to improve Medication Reconciliation by linking of medication name to appropriate dose and route. STAR Pharmacy will be utilized until the installation of Cerner. The go-live for conversion to STAR Pharmacy for Medication Reconciliation is scheduled on Tuesday, January 18, All areas currently using Care Manager for electronic medication reconciliation recording and printing of physician Admission and Discharge Medication Reconciliation order forms, with the exception of the Emergency Departments, will convert to STAR Pharmacy at that time. To avoid transcription errors, for current inpatients, the existing Care Manager Discharge Medication Reconciliation order form will continue to be utilized until Tuesday, February 8, The Emergency Departments will continue to use Care Manager for Medication Reconciliation until January 25, 2011 when EPOWERdoc will go-live. If you are admitting a patient in the Emergency Department and wish to order the admission medications, the EPOWERdoc Medication Reconciliation order form may be utilized. Workflow and physician order forms will remain similar to the current process. Home medications will continue to be accessible via eportal. Reaudits will be performed after STAR implementation to evaluate the effectiveness of the conversion. Please review the attached EPOWERdoc and STAR physician order forms. If you have any questions or would like to review the forms, please attend one of the open sessions listed on the next page at your convenience. Thank you for your participation in improving the medication safety of our Excela Health patients. Please contact the following individuals for further information: Amy Kriss, WH Pharmacy ( ) or AnneMarie Scekeres, LH Quality ( )
