Problems and Solutions
• Errors due to:
–
–
–
–
Not starting medications the patient should be taking
Starting medications the patient shouldn’t be taking
Not communication starts/stops to next caregiver
Not communicating changes to patients
• Beers, et al. J Am Geriatric Society 1990:
– 83% of hospital admission histories missed one or
more medications
– 46% missed three or more
• Problems occur at all transitions in care:
– “Continue all outpatient medications”
Electronic Health Records to the Rescue!

Our Approach to Medication Reconciliation
• Multiple inpatient and outpatient systems
• Natural language processing to get codes
• Medical knowledge base to group codes
• Chronological presentation
Methods
• All recent admissions for one physician (JJC)
• Multiple inpatient and outpatient resources
• Carol Friedman’s Medical Language Extraction and
Encoding (MedLEE)
• US National Library of Medicine’s Unified Medical
Language System (UMLS)
• Columbia’s Medical Entities Dictionary (MED)
• American Hospital Formulary Service (AHFS)
classification
• Evaluation of ability to capture, code and organize

Discussion
• Data from multiple coded and narrative sources
can be coded automatically and merged into a
single form
• The UMLS and MED are both needed for coding to
a single terminology (AHFS)
• Further work on MedLEE and the MED are needed
• Drugs tend to group into one per class; allows for
change from one generic to another
• Chronology by drug class can highlight changes in
medication plans
• Changes can be intended or unintended, but
should not be ignored
• The next step is medication reconciliation
Conclusions
• Diverse medication data can be automatically
integrated
• Organizing data by time and drug class can
highlight possible errors
