Medication Reconciliation Technology to Improve Quality of Transitional Care
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Medication Reconciliation
In brief
This study addresses the problem of inadequate medication reconciliation as patients cross boundaries between inpatient and outpatient care (ambulatory care). The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new, computer-based application, integrated with electronic prescribing, improves erroneous discrepancies between pre-hospital medications and medications upon patients' return to ambulatory care.
