Toronto East General Hospital 2006
• Mostly paper chart
• Separate electronic pharmacy information system (MS Meds)
• Cerner Powerchart (Labs)
• No provincial electronic drug profile access yet
![Page 15: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Setting a New Standard in Quality and Value 15
Medication Communication Problems
• Transcription errors (paper MAR)
• Slow turnaround of written/reconciled orders
• Unlinked MAR / Pharmacy med profile inaccuracies
• Previous Best Possible Medication History (BPMH) lost in archived chart
• BPMH lost in current chart
Challenging Med Rec
![Page 16: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Setting a New Standard in Quality and Value 16
Path to eMed Rec
• 2008 Cerner Pharmnet (Pharmacy)
– linked to electronic chart (Powerchart)
• 2009 Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) and e-Medication Administration Record (eMAR)
![Page 18: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Setting a New Standard in Quality and Value 18
Path to eMed Rec
• 2010 Existing e-medication history documentation and reconciliation modules – Real-time BPMH documented using standardized
drug library, readily available for all patient visits
– BPMH could be directly converted to inpatient orders
• 2011+ e-Clinical documentation expanded – Including standard Med Rec consultation note
– Real-time med rec data auditing
![Page 19: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Setting a New Standard in Quality and Value 19
Med Rec @ TEGH
• Proactive and retroactive approach
• Elective surgical patient pathway (proactive) – Preoperative clinic pharmacist
– Inpatient surgeon / resident
• Acute inpatient pathway (mostly retroactive) – Inpatient clinical pharmacists
– Most responsible physician
![Page 24: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Setting a New Standard in Quality and Value 24
Benefits of eMed Rec
• Simple, efficient ordering of multiple medications – Reconciliation tool
• Virtually no transcription errors • BPMH readily available for all future encounters • Real-time availability of BPMH • Foundation for Med Rec on discharge • Automatic drug product translation in Pharmacy
dispensing system (single Cerner ‘interface’) • Enhanced real-time auditing possible
![Page 25: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Setting a New Standard in Quality and Value 25
Challenges of eMed Rec
• Standardized use of application features – ‘fill in the blank’ fields such as compliance data not readily
viewable by provider (use Med Rec note)
• Details: – Difficult to track history of medication changes (Med Rec
note) – Inflexibility of display options – ‘Live’ BPMH (?proxy access for staff/students in training) – Pushing alerts/flags to providers – Complexity of data mining
• Does not correct incomplete Med Rec, inaccurate info • Duplicate documentation due to e-prescriptions • Downtime
![Page 26: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Setting a New Standard in Quality and Value 26
Conclusion
• Perfection vs Progress
• Upfront key supports (CPOE, eMAR, Drug library) facilitated success
• Simplicity reproducibility
• Success: downstream demand for 100%

Whitehorse General Hospital
• 55 acute care beds
• 210-230 admissions/month
• 52 Family Physicians
• 6 Surgeons
• 180 Nurses
• 5 Pharmacists
![Page 31: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Information Systems
• Meditech 5.64 (MAGIC workstation)
• Patient Discharge Instructions (Iatric Systems)
– For Med Rec at Admission and Discharge
• Medical chart is mostly paper-based
• No territory-wide Electronic Medication Record (EMR)
![Page 32: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Implementation of PDI
Patient Discharge Instructions (PDI) software purchased from Iatric Systems
Development of process and reports by clinical pharmacist with physicians, community pharmacists and nursing
Started using PDI for every Med Rec at Admission
Started using PDI for Med Rec at Discharge
(pilot project with clinical pharmacist and 2 physicians)
Roll-out to other physicians

PDI Training
• Med Rec Team: – 2 nurses in Emerg and on the ward
– 2 nurses in the Pre-Op Clinic
– Clinical Pharmacist
– Physician “champion”
• One-on-one training and in small groups of physicians
• Instruction Manual and video tutorial
![Page 34: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Software allows to:
1) Gather electronically Home Medication history and print Med Rec at Admission form
2) Compare Home Medications and Hospital Medications and generate a comprehensive Discharge Order along with patient hand-outs
![Page 35: Using technology to support MedRec: Two hospitals, two approaches](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051513/547187e6b4af9fb90a8b4bce/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Discharge Process
• When planning for discharge, physician logs into PDI
• Clinical Pharmacist, in collaboration with physician, can also log into PDI and prepare Med Rec at Discharge
• Current hospital medications are “pulled over” from Meditech
• Reconciliation by a “simple click”

Discharge Process
• Discharge Orders, Medication List and Medication Schedule are printed
• Physician or pharmacist indicate in “Physician’s Orders” where to fax
• Physician or pharmacist gives Medication List or Medication Schedule to patient with explanation of changes and new medications
