Target Areas
• Reconciliation Project on 3 aged care & rehab wards
• Safety initiatives across other wards
• Majority of patients over 65 years of age, multiple co-morbidities, visual and/or hearing impairments, fluctuating cognitive state, language barriers, multiple medications (average 15), multiple medical professionals seen prior to OPH admission = high risk patients
• Average length of stay on rehab wards is 19 days (reduce)

Medication Reconciliation Process
• Admission: take medication history, confirm and reconcile
• Discharge/transfer: reconcile, liaise/communicate information to next point of care
• Aiming to achieve a new system which creates accountability, continuity of care and communication, saving time (overall) = safer care for patients

Challenges• Time and resources required for complete
reconciliation (which is reliant upon communication with multiple sources)
• Reliance on Pharmacists …….
‘Don’t worry, the Pharmacist will correct it’
• Transient (rotational) nature of some medical staff resulting in a continuous need to retrain, up skill etc
