Overview | Medication Reconciliation Implementation toolkit
In 2010, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) awarded the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) a $1.5 million grant for a three-year Multi-Center Medication Reconciliation Quality Improvement Study (MARQUIS). The goal of MARQUIS is to develop better ways for medications to be prescribed, documented, and reconciled accurately and safely at times of care transitions when patients enter and leave the hospital.
Role of the Hospitalist:
- Take responsibility for the accuracy of the medication reconciliation process for each patient under your care.
- Lead, coordinate, or participate in medication reconciliation quality improvement efforts along with other key team members on the "front lines" to inform the hospital QI team on key interventions that would lead to improved patient outcomes.
- Become trained in taking the “best possible medication history” and effective discharge medication counseling.
- Identify patients who are at high risk for a medication reconciliation error and would benefit from a more intensive medication reconciliation process.
