Implementing Medication Reconciliation for BC’s Renal Community

The Renal Agency is committed to supporting medication reconciliation across the continuum of renal care – from clinic, to admission, to transfer, to discharge, and back to the clinic – through refinements to the PROMIS database.

Medication reconciliation reports are available through PROMIS, and while each region, clinic or team may use these reports in different ways, the hope is that all renal teams will enhance their medication reconciliation efforts with these tools. (Click here for a tutorial on accessing medication reconciliation reports through PROMIS.)

Throughout the spring, we are presenting to health authority renal programs as well as meeting with various Renal Agency professional groups to find out how we can enhance your existing efforts in this area – or in some cases, work with you to begin them. You will also hear more about this important initiative at BC Nephrology Days in October 2008.  In the meantime, if you have any questions about medication reconciliation, please contact Dan Martinusen at dan.martinusen@viha.ca
