Medication Reconciliation Toolkit Updated, Available to Hospitalists
Adverse drug events and medication errors are unfortunately all too common within hospitals, but hospitalists can now take the lead in preventing them using SHM’s MARQUIS [Multi-Center Medication Reconciliation Quality Improvement Study] toolkit.
The authors of the new toolkit outline the hospitalist’s role in reducing medication errors as:
- Take responsibility for the accuracy of the medication reconciliation process for each patient under your care;
- Lead, coordinate, or participate in medication reconciliation quality improvement (QI) efforts with other key team members on the “front lines” to inform the hospital QI team on key interventions that would lead to improved patient outcomes;
- Become trained in taking the “best possible medication history” and in using effective discharge medication counseling; and
- Identify patients who are at high risk for a medication reconciliation error and would benefit from a more intensive medication reconciliation process.
“The MARQUIS study is important because it shows the potential of a mentored implementation effort, working with local hospitalist leaders and a QI toolkit, to improve medication safety related to the medication reconciliation process,” says MARQUIS principal investigator Jeff Schnipper, MD, MPH, FHM.
“It also shows the importance of institutional commitment to the success of these efforts. Lastly, hospitalists need to realize that medication reconciliation is not just some external regulatory requirement—it’s about the safety of the medications they order—and, therefore, that they need to ensure the quality of the process for the patients they care for and to lead efforts to improve the process across their hospitals.”

Post-Acute Care Transitions Toolkit Available to Hospitalists
Hospitalists know that many hospitalizations aren’t like those on TV. Instead of being discharged to their homes, many patients are discharged to post-acute care facilities for further care. And those transitions from hospital to post-acute care can be just as challenging as—if not more than—discharges to home care.
Making those transitions safer, smoother, and more effective can not only help an individual patient, but it can have a broader impact, according to the lead author of SHM’s new Post-Acute Care Transitions Toolkit, now available at www.hospitalmedicine.org/pact.
“Post-acute care transitions is an important area where hospitalists can contribute to improving the population health of their community,” says hospitalist Robert Young, MD, of Northwestern University in Chicago.
Both Dr. Young and the new toolkit recommend that hospitalists partner with the post-acute providers to make sure that communication between settings is complete during transitioning and open for ongoing questions as they arise. “Developing a relationship with your post-acute providers to work on these transitions issues provides the opportunity for ongoing quality and process improvement vital to our patients’ care,” Dr. Young says.

Tips, Tools to Control Diabetes, Hyperglycemia in Hospitalized Patients
Controlling diabetes in the hospital is one of the most predominant challenges hospitalists face. In addition to the condition’s increased prevalence among the general population, patients with diabetes are commonly admitted to the hospital multiple times. And the treatment of diabetes can make the treatment of other conditions more difficult.
In fact, a 2014 study conducted in California by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the California Center for Public Health Advocacy revealed that one-third of hospitalized patients older than 34 in California have diabetes.
For hospitalists ready to tackle a condition like diabetes—increasingly common and challenging to treat—SHM now has more resources than ever. And hospitalists can start to take advantage of them today.
Glycemic Control Implementation Toolkit
SHM’s Glycemic Control Implementation Toolkit gives hospitalists the first advantages in treating hyperglycemia in the hospital. Using SHM’s proven approach to quality improvement, including personal experience and evidence-based medicine, the toolkit enables hospitalists to implement effective regimens and protocols that optimize glycemic control and minimize hypoglycemia.
The toolkit (www.hospitalmedicine.org/gcmi) is easy to use and includes step-by-step instructions, from first steps to performance tracking to continuing improvement.
Hospital Medicine 2015
Ready to learn directly from the experts in inpatient glycemic control and share experiences with thousands of other hospitalists? HM15 will feature the most current information and research from the leading authorities on glycemic control.
For more information and to register online, visit www.hospitalmedicine2015.org.
Glycemic Control Mentored Implementation
SHM’s signature mentored implementation model helps hospitals create and implement programs that make a difference. The Glycemic Control Mentored Implementation (GCMI) Program links hospitals with national leaders in the field for a mentored relationship, critical data benchmarking, and collaboration with peers.
GCMI has now moved to a rolling acceptance model, so hospitals can now apply any time to start preventing hypoglycemia and better managing their inpatients with hyperglycemia and diabetes. For more information, visit www.hospitalmedicine.org/gcmi.
