Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:Medication reconciliation errors on hospital admission can lead to significant patient harm. A pediatric intermediate care unit initiated a quality improvement project and aimed to reduce errors in admission medication reconciliation by 50% in 12 months. METHODS:From August 2017 to December 2018, a multidisciplinary team conducted a quality improvement project with plan-do-study-act methodology. Continuous data collection was achieved by reviewing medications with home caregivers within 18 hours of admission to identify errors. Cycle 1 consisted of nursing training in accurate and thorough medication history documentation. Cycle 2 was aimed at improving data collection. Cycle 3 was aimed at improving pediatric housestaff processes for medication reconciliation. In cycle 4 intervention, the reconciliation process was redesigned to incorporate the bedside nurse reviewing final medication orders with the patient's home caregivers once the medication reconciliation process was complete. Intermittent maintenance data collection continued for 12 months thereafter. RESULTS:Cycle 1 and 2 interventions resulted in improvement in the medication reconciliation error rate from 9.8% to 4.7%. In cycle 2, the data collection rate improved from 61% to 80% of admissions sustained. Cycle 3 resulted in a further reduction in the medication error rate to 2.9%, which was sustained in cycle 4 and over the 12-month maintenance period. A patient's number of home medications did not correlate with the error rate. CONCLUSIONS:Reductions in admission medication reconciliation errors can be achieved with staff education on medication history and process for medication reconciliation and with process redesign that incorporates active medication order review as a closed-loop communication with home caregivers.
