摘要

Background: Medication errors at hospital admission, though preventable, continue to be common. The process of medication reconciliation has been identified as an important tool in reducing medication errors. The first step in medication reconciliation involves documenting a patient’s best possible medication history (BPMH); at the authors’ tertiary pediatric hospital, this step is completed at time of admission by resident physicians. Objectives: To describe and quantify the completeness of admission BPMH by resident physicians for pediatric inpatients with asthma. Methods: This single-centre, retrospective chart review evaluated documentation of admission medication reconciliation for pediatric inpatients with asthma who were admitted between January 2016 and December 2017. Medication reconciliation forms were deemed incomplete if records for asthma medications were missing drug name, inhaler strength or oral drug dose, directions for use, or evidence of reconciliation. Results: A total of 241 charts were evaluated, of which 97 (40%) had incomplete documentation for at least 1 medication; in particular, 48 (37%) of the 130 inhaled corticosteroid orders were missing inhaler strength. For most of the charts with incomplete medication history (68% [66/97]), no reason was documented; however, review of the medication reconciliation forms and physician notes revealed that families might have been unsure of a patient’s home medications or physicians might have left it to the pharmacy to clarify medication doses. Conclusions: Documentation of inhaler medications on admission medication reconciliation forms completed by resident physicians for pediatric patients with asthma was often incomplete. Future quality improvement interventions, including resident and patient education, are required at the study institution. Collaboration with pharmacy services is also likely to improve completeness of the medication reconciliation process.
