A call for a statewide medication reconciliation program.
American Journal of Managed Care 2016 October 2
In the outpatient setting, it is exceedingly difficult to know what medications our patients have been prescribed and are taking. Each encounter with a specialist, hospital, or pharmacy can generate a change to a patient's list of medications, and in most systems, this information is not communicated back to the primary care practice's electronic health record-the exception being opiate prescriptions. Prescription drug monitoring programs in 48 states list every opiate prescription, the name of the prescriber, and the date and location the prescription was picked up. We propose that policy makers act to expand these programs to all medications, thus improving the likelihood that any provider prescribing a new medication would know what medicines their patient is already taking.
