Documentation in the outpatient medical record must include evidence of medication reconciliation and the date on which it was performed. Any of the following evidence meets criteria: (1) Documentation of the current medications with a notation that references the discharge medications (e.g., no changes in meds since discharge, same meds at discharge, discontinue all discharge meds), (2) Documentation of the patient’s current medications with a notation that the discharge medications were reviewed, (3) Documentation that the provider “reconciled the current and discharge meds,” (4) Documentation of a current medication list, a discharge medication list and notation that the appropriate practitioner type reviewed both lists on the same date of service, (5) Notation that no medications were prescribed or ordered upon discharge; (6) Documentation that patient was seen for post-discharge follow-up with evidence of medication reconciliation or review, (7) Documentation in the discharge summary that the discharge medications were reconciled with the current medications; the discharge summary must be in the outpatient chart.
Medication reconciliation post-discharge is an important step to catch potentially harmful omissions or changes in prescribed medications, particularly in elderly patients that are prescribed a greater quantity and variety of medications (Leape, 1991 ). Although the magnitude of the effect of medication reconciliation alone on patient outcomes is not well studied, there is agreement among experts that potential benefits outweigh the harm (Coleman, 2003; Pronovost, 2003; IOM, 2002; IOM, 2006). Medication reconciliation post-discharge is recommended by the Joint Commission patient safety goals (Kienle, 2008), the American Geriatric Society (Coleman, 2003), Society of Hospital Medicine (Kripalani, 2007; Grennwald, 2010), ACOVE (Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders; Knight, 2001), and the Task Force on Medicines Partnership (2005). Additionally, measurement of medication reconciliation post-discharge has been cited by the National Quality Forum and the National Priorities Partnership as a measurement priority area (NQF, 2010)
