Transitions of Care and Medication Reconciliation: Quality Measures

Course overview

Transitions of Care (TOC) and Medication Reconciliation (Med Rec) go hand-in-hand in potential for quality improvement as well as potential for patient harm. Med Rec and quality measures (QM) targets go hand-in-hand as well. This course will examine the potential impact of comprehensive patient-centered Med Rec on quality measures. We will discuss the impact of approaching TOC Med Rec beyond just getting the medication list right and the potential impact on reaping incentives beyond TOC codes. This course is not an update on billing codes, but is an in-depth look at patient-centered medication use assessment. The target audience is nurses (RNs), advance practice nurses (APRNs), nurse case managers, and nurse care coordinators.
