The Medication Reconciliation Task is triggered for high-risk patients and presents an opportunity to review the active medications in claims, ensure the patient understands how and when to take each medication, and capture additional medications or OTCs.
To begin the task, select "Start". The new display will show the active medication list.
Click near the medication name to open the item and add instructions, status, adherence, related items and notes as needed. After making updates, select "Save" to close the window.
Add new medications or OTCs by navigating to the Health Record tab on the left and select the blue + in the top right corner and choose "Medication" (you may need to minimize the Med Rec Task window).
Once the new medication details are added, you can return to the task window and select any other interventions performed and education provided by clicking the applicable boxes.
You can also jot down notes or indicate any related items from other sections of the profile as needed, like conditions or drug therapy problems.
Once you've captured all the pertinent details, click "Continue" to automatically generate applicable documents (like eCare Plans for CPESN member pharmacies), or click "Save and Close" if you want to pause your work and come back to it later.
As always, DocStation relies on the pharmacist's knowledge of the patient when it comes to relevancy of tasks, so if a task is not relevant to the patient, or if the patient refuses the consultation, or something else comes up that prevents you from completing the task, you can archive it instead. Select the (...) icon on the right side of the task card, then select "Archive" and choose the most applicable reason. Then select "Archive Task". If you've already started the task but decide to archive it instead, select the same (...) menu and select "Archive".
