Medication Reconciliation Using Natural Language Processing and Controlled Terminologies James J. Cimino, Tiffani J. Bright, Jianhua Li Department of Biomedical Informatics Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons New York, New York, USA The Challenge of Medication Reconciliation Go Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop ? Go Go Many a Slip ‘Twixt the Cup and the Lip Stop Stop Stop Stop Patient is Supposed to Take Patient is Taking Patient is not Taking Patient is not Supposed to Take Reports Taking Doesn’t Report Taking Reports Taking Doesn’t Report Taking Reports Taking Doesn’t Report Taking Reports Taking Doesn’t Report Taking 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! Go Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop ? Go Go Computer Assisted Medication Reconciliation • Poon et al.: JAMIA 2006: – Preadmission Medication List – Grouped medications by generic names • • • • • Text sources Mutiple sources Substitutions might occur Confusing chronology Information overload! 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 Data Sources Data Source 1.
