NCT ID: NCT06207500 Terminated - Clinical trials for Medication Reconciliation

Evaluation of Pharmacist-led Medication Reconciliation Service Benefits in Hospitalised Medical Patients

Start date: September 30, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Transitions of care often lead to medication errors and unnecessary healthcare utilisation. It has been repeatedly shown that medication reconciliation can at least partially reduce this risk. Objective: The aim of this prospective pragmatic trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of pharmacist-led medication reconciliation offered to medical patients as part of routine clinical practise. The main questions to be answered were: - the effectiveness of pharmacist-led medication reconciliation on medication discrepancies at discharge and 30 days after discharge - the effectiveness of pharmacist-led medication reconciliation on healthcare utilisation within 30 days after discharge. Participants in the intervention group were offered the following: - medication reconciliation on admission - medication reconciliation on discharge, coupled with patient counselling, provided by clinical pharmacists. Participants in the control group were offered standard care.

Medication Reconciliation in an Emergency Department: How to Prioritize Patients ?

Start date: April 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Medication reconciliation has proven its efficiency in improving patients' care, especially for emergency patients. This study aimed to identify risk factors of unintended medication discrepancies (UMD) in an emergency department. Secondary objectives were to identify the number and type of UMD, correction rate of UMD and the impact of emergency department organisation on UMD.

NCT ID: NCT03670433 Completed - Clinical trials for Medication Reconciliation

Medication Reconciliation for Patients Over 65 Years Old : Cost Analysis of the Process Implemented in the Polyvalent Internal Medical Unit of Rennes University Hospital

CONTEMPS
Start date: September 5, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Among the strategies to secure the patient's care path, medication reconciliation is a powerful approach for the prevention and interception of medication errors.

NCT ID: NCT03666793 Completed - Elderly Clinical Trials

Comprehensive Management of Drug Prescriptions Throughout the Elderly Person's Hospital Care

OPTISORT
Start date: September 18, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluates the impact of optimizing drug prescriptions on re-admissions of elderly patients within 30 days after hospital discharge. It compares a group of patients receiving comprehensive care (medication reconciliation at hospital entry, multidisciplinary medication review, and medication reconciliation at discharge), versus another group that does not benefit from the program.

NCT ID: NCT03029052 Completed - Clinical trials for Medication Reconciliation

Medication Reconciliation at Discharge: Impact on Patient's Care

CONCIVILLE
Start date: February 8, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patient's discharge from hospital is associated with iatrogenic events for 12 to 17% of patients. This risk may be linked with discontinuity of care between hospital physicians and Primary Care Physician (PCP). The investigators aim to assess in this study the impact of medication reconciliation at discharge associated with a patient's counseling session, both provided by a pharmacist, on patient's care after discharge. To demonstrate the interest of medication reconciliation at discharge we expect a reduction by 15% of the number of prescription changes not maintained by the PCP after discharge.

NCT ID: NCT02905474 Completed - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Mobile Health Technology for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: Medication Management

Start date: May 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients with complex, long-lasting conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) often take multiple medications and frequently have serious medication problems, arising from poor communication between doctors and patients. Prescription errors or misunderstandings can cause harm and lead to emergency room visits or even hospitalizations. To address these issues, medication reconciliation is now used by hospitals as a way to confirm the medication list of patients on admission to and discharge from hospital. However, a similar process does not exist outside the hospital setting. In recent years patients have become more proactive in undertaking activities with a direct bearing on their health. Such activities may include maintaining an accurate list of their medications. The rapid growth of the digital health arena has led to the development of a large number of commercially available mobile medication management apps for patients. These digital tools are 'stand-alone' products that are not integrated with the patients' pharmacy or health record system. They rely on patients to enter the list of their medications and update it as necessary. Moreover, few have a function to communicate medication changes or problems with their healthcare providers. Recently, an integrated smartphone, eKidneyCare, app system was developed with a medication management feature to help patients maintain an accurate mobile medication list. Patients' current medication information in the pharmacy database is uploaded onto their by a pharmacist and changes are tracked regularly through a bi-directional communication system. Updates to the medication list occur seamlessly by the pharmacist, and patients and their physicians are notified about any medication errors or serious adverse events. This study will determine whether our eKidneyCare app with its medication management feature will decrease medication errors and improve patient safety compared to the more traditional way of managing medications.

NCT ID: NCT02289469 Completed - Clinical trials for Medication Reconciliation

PictureRx: Improving Medication Safety in Health Disparity Populations

Start date: April 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Medication safety is an important concern in hospital Emergency Departments (EDs), which provide approximately 136 million patient visits annually in the US. An accurate list of the patient's medications is often needed to inform medical decision-making. Moreover, health care facilities are required to provide patients with an accurate, reconciled list of their medications upon completion of the visit. However, for 37-87% of patients in the ED, errors are present in the documented medication list, and patients often leave without an updated list of their medications or a good understanding of their self-care instructions. This increases the risk of harmful adverse drug events. Health disparity populations, who are more likely to seek care in EDs and who more often have difficulty providing a complete medication history, are disproportionately affected. Health information technology has the potential to improve medication safety in this setting. PictureRx is an internet-based platform designed to improve medication management in vulnerable populations. It allows users to generate illustrated medication lists in an easily-understood, patient-centered format, in either English or Spanish. The investigators have developed a process for importing prescription fill data from the Surescripts Medication History service, which covers 96% of US pharmacies, into the PictureRx platform. The investigators are developing a mobile tablet PC-based medication history platform that receives and processes the Surescripts data, as well as prompts verification and additional information about the medication regimen. This trial will assess the effect of the PictureRx medication history platform on the accuracy and efficiency of the medication reconciliation process, as well as patient understanding and satisfaction, in hospital Emergency Departments.

NCT ID: NCT01226589 Completed - Clinical trials for Medication Reconciliation

Pharmacist Discharge Medication Reconciliation Study

Start date: October 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adverse drug events can occur commonly due to medication errors during the transition of care in a health care facility. Medication reconciliation is the process of comparing medications and providing an accurate medication list as a resource for prescribers, which is currently only being done upon inpatient admission at the CCI. The purpose of this study is to see if pharmacist medication reconciliation at discharge reduces unintentional medication discrepancies for inpatient discharges.
