  3. Advocate HealthCare • Largest not-for-profit IDN in metropolitan Chicago • Founded in 1995 with merger of two health systems • One of the top 10 systems in the United States • Ten hospitals (7 acute care, 1 LTC, 2 Children’s) • Three medical groups • Illinois’ largest home health service • 200 sites of care • 25,000 associates • 4600 physicians

  4. “Most Wired” status by Hospitals and Health Networkspast six years (2000-06) Number 1

  5. Medication Reconciliation - Advocate HistoryPreparing our process - 2005 • Advocate-wide effort in 2005 to develop a paper process for documenting Medication Reconciliation • Team consisted of representatives from all sites • Pharmacists • Nurses • Quality • Goal was to have one form to be used at all hospitals • Forms already in use at Advocate Hospitals, and other institutions used as starting point • Medication Reconciliation team expressed strong desire to use EMR – Advocate moved ahead with a solution.

  6. Medication Reconciliation - Advocate HistoryElectronic Medication Rec Process - 2005 • Documentation: Electronic Medical Record • Printing the Report • Paper Documentation • Total Process of Medication Reconciliation

  7. Medication Reconciliation - Advocate HistoryNurse Documentation - 2005 • A new Admission Order will be automatically placed on all documenting units • The order will create a scheduled patient care task called Home Medication History • Medication History will no longer be part of the current Patient History Form

  8. Medication Reconciliation - Advocate HistoryDocumentation on this form is like all forms - 2005 • If the box says <alpha> click in the box to see options. If the box is empty, type in response. • You can change date and time if necessary • Sign with Green Check Mark Icon

  14. Medication Reconciliation - Advocate History Opportunities for improvement - 2005 • Use of free text entries will need to be eliminated. • Conversion of home meds to inpatient meds. • Difficult to ensure that complete history including drug, dose, frequency, route, and last dose taken included for every entry. • Reconciliation process is not electronically captured, difficult to measure compliance. • Need for compliance audits – currently a VERY manual process. • Current report process lends to non-standardized procedures, site to site and unit to unit.

  15. Medication Reconciliation 2007 Code Challenges Hmmm

  16. Medication Reconciliation 2007 Code Challenges • Cerner 2007 code upgrade presented options to explore a complete EMR solution to the medication reconciliation process. • Cerner Design • This was designed such that the nurse will capture the medication history in the new window and the physician will have the privilege to perform medication reconciliation. It is a CPOE design and is not designed to support an alternative workflow. • For non-CPOE sites, they will need to maintain and use their current processes or the Cerner recommended processes and reports.

  17. Medication Reconciliation 2007 Code Challenges Is your site 100% CPOE enabled? Every Physician? Who will do reconciliation online? Nursing Pharmacist Physician

  18. Medication Reconciliation 2007 Code Challenges • Each Advocate hospital has varying % of CPOE adoption. • All clinicians perceive online processes as additional work. • Advocate’s eight hospitals include • Large teaching sites with residents • Mid-size hospitals • Small community hospitals • Site Nursing and Pharmacist resources vary • FTE numbers • Shift staffing • Medication order entry access • Process outliers • Emergency • Bedded Outpatients

  19. Medication reconciliation – 2007Advocate Approach • Implement medication reconciliation, make available to all CPOE physicians and residents at all sites. • All sites will utilize codified documented medications. • Current medication reconciliation reports and genviews will be re-created incorporating 2007 code design. They will reflect any electronic reconciliation done. • Reconciliation workflow can be site specific • Sites may choose to have nursing and/or pharmacists complete electronic reconciliation processes if no CPOE physician is available. • Sites may choose to continue reconciliation process utilizing re-created reports and genviews.

  20. Medication reconciliation – 2007Why Now?? • Solutions are available in 2007 code • Prescription Writing “Carrot” • Increased CPOE Adoption • Current Process is not working. • Candidates are a “Base” to move forward for Next Steps • 2007 Base Functions • Enhanced View • Enhanced orders • Medication Reconciliation • Next Steps - 2008 • House-wide Discharge Planning • Continued CPOE Rollout • CareConnection ED Solution – (FirstNet)
