1 Improving Medication Reconciliation Catherine Plaisant Ben Shneiderman Sumit Arora Eliz Markowitz In collaboration with Elmer V. Bernstam, Jorge Herskovic, Jiajie Zhang, Todd R. Johnson National Center for Cognitive Informatics and Decision Making in Healthcare, Houston TX Ran Liu, Leo Claudino, Sameh Khamis, Ben London, Jay Pujara Students of CMSC734 Information Visualization class "

2 Medication reconciliation Many definitions, e.g." Develop list of current medications" Develop a list of medications to be prescribed" Compare the lists" Make clinical decision based on comparison" Communicate the new list to appropriate caregivers and to patient " One definition from:

3 Compare and reconcile" List 1 List 2 Reconciliation Final list

4 Scenario 1: In Physicianʼs Office" Interviews" Meds Patient says he is taking" Meds listed in EHR" Reconciliation" Updated EHR med List"

5 Scenario 1: In Physicianʼs Office" Interviews" Microsoft Vault" Pharmacy" Other physician lists" Or many Other sources" Meds listed in EHR" Reconciliation" Updated EHR Medication List"

6 Scenario 2: At hospital (at discharge)" Meds reported by patient during Intake Meds given during stay at the hospital Reconciliation Meds patient should take after going home

7 Example of Medication Lists" - What s unique? - What s identical? - What s equivalent?

8 Example of Medication Lists" Goal: A reconciled therapeutically appropriate list Actions - Continue/Accept - Discontinue/Reject - Modify and continue Note: drug interaction alerts and ordering out of reconciliation definition

9 Levels of equivalences" Equivalence Criteria Example Form Equivalence Identical except for brand vs. generic Functional Equivalence Partial Equivalence No equivalence Same therapeutic intent Form or functional equivalence, but differ in dosage, frequency, or route Unique in form and function Advil = Ibuprofen Senormin = Atenolol Atenolol and Propanolol both betablockers Advil 100 mg Acetaminophen 200mg Work of Jorge Herskovic, Todd R.

12 Reconcile tab The patient and p h y s i c i a n medication lists post consultation with the patient & the physician s record. At this point, no medication has been reconciled.

13 Zoloft Click right Upon selecting the Reconcile Lists button, the two lists will be algorithmically sorted and placed into the two lists seen here: the Consolidated Record and the Reconciled Record. Green indicates t h a t t h e medication is reconciled; identical medications in b o t h t h e physician and patient lists are highlighted in green and placed in the Reconciled Record.

14 ? After dropping Zoloft into the reconciled medication list, the patient and physician medication lists are dynamically updated; i.e., both Sertraline HCL and Zoloft are removed from the appropriate lists. The Consolidated Record no longer lists Zoloft and the Reconciled Record s h o w s Zoloft as green; i.e., reconciled. However, the origin of Zoloft on the Reconciled Record does state that this was a p h y s i c i a n addendum.

15 ? again If the user clicks the? button, an arrow depicting the association will appear. Not only does this method reduce onscreen clutter, but also keeps the data-ink ratio high. Furthermore, the use of a button will maintain medications in both lists, decrease memory load on the user, and uphold the integrity of the patient medication history.

17 Warfarin trash can As before, the user may select Warfarin, drags it to the Consolidated Record, and drop it in the record. However, an alternative exists if the user simply mouses over the medication. When mousing over a medication, a trashcan will appear in the medication field

25 Just a start " Telling a story (layout as timeline?) Can display be more compact? More/better animation Drugs with multiple compounds Drugs with multiple therapeutic use Undo? Show interactions graphically?

26 Medication Reconciliation - More complex than it looks - Multiple ways to address it - Animation promising - Need healthcare professionals feedback Acknowledgments: Strategic Health IT Advanced Research Projects Program (SHARP) Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
