ASHP statement on the pharmacist's role in medication reconciliation.
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) believes that an effective process for medication reconciliation reduces medication errors and supports safe medication use by patients. ASHP encourages hospitals and health systems, including community-based providers and managed care systems, to collaborate in organized, multidisciplinary medication reconciliation programs to promote continuity of patient care. ASHP further believes that pharmacists, because of their distinct knowledge, skills, and abilities, are uniquely qualified to lead interdisciplinary efforts to establish and maintain an effective medication reconciliation process in hospitals and across health systems. Pharmacists should lead or assume key roles in the following essential components of medication reconciliation: developing policies and procedures, implementing and continuously improving medication reconciliation processes, training and assuring the continuing competency of those involved in medication reconciliation, providing operational and therapeutic expertise in the development of information systems that support medication reconciliation, and advocating for medication reconciliation programs in the community. Pursuant to their leadership role, pharmacists share accountability with other hospital and health-system leaders for the ongoing success of medication reconciliation processes across the continuum of care.
