a nurse is reviewing the medication history of a client who is to undergo allergy testing This is a topic that many people are looking for. newyorkcityvoices.org is a channel providing useful information about learning, life, digital marketing and online courses …. it will help you have an overview and solid multi-faceted knowledge . Today, newyorkcityvoices.org would like to introduce to you Taking a Good Medication History. Following along are instructions in the video below:
Drug events. Which are defined as injury due to a medication are very common they they affect approximately 10 of patients during hospitalization and 15 of patients during the first weeks after hospital discharge errors in the medication history that healthcare providers take from patients are an important contributor to adverse drug events. These errors account for up to 75 of all potentially harmful medication.
Discrepancies in admission and discharge orders errors in the history can lead to patients. Receiving the wrong medications taking a good medication history is therefore not just a regulatory requirement. Its important for improving medication safety during transitions of care.
The goal of a good medication history is to obtain complete information on the patients regimen. Including the name of each medication the formulation. The dosage route and frequency.
You should also distinguish between what patients are supposed to be on versus. What they actually take a good medication history also ideally includes other aspects of the medication regimen. Such as indications for each drug.
It is helpful to know about any recent changes in the regimen. Including drugs that were recently stopped started or prescribed for a short course. Such as antibiotics over the counter drugs samples.
Vitamins herbals and other products should be included ask when the patient last took each medication. Its also important to note the patients allergies and the associated reactions as well as their various prescribers and pharmacies taking the good medication history is not easy. Many healthcare professionals have not received training in how to take a good medication history compounding.
This patients may not be familiar with their medications. And may not have a medication list available also available sources of information for example from the ambulatory medical record may be incomplete out of date or conflicting as a result errors in the medication history are common some examples include omitting a met vacation. Thinking that a patient is on a medication that she is not or documenting the wrong.
Dosage or frequency. The time it takes to obtain a good medication history can be a barrier as well. But with proper training and practice providers can get both better and faster in taking an accurate history here are some tips on how to take the best possible medication history try to use at least two sources of information.
These may include interviewing the patient reviewing the patients written medication list or obtaining information from family. Members. Or caregivers trying to verify information through the patients medication bottles a medication list in the medical record or the pharmacy.
Where the patient fills prescriptions is also helpful as you obtain information from different sources. Its important to explore and clarify any discrepancies that you find using an available medication list for example from the outpatient medical record or a recent hospital discharge summary can save time and reduce errors in the medication history. However medication lists often are not current or accurate.
The list may be incomplete or contain errors. It is important to review and verify the list with the patient. But dont just read the list to the patient and ask if it is correct instead you should start by asking the patient to tell you what they are taking or at least how much and how often they take each medicine on the list this increases your chances of finding inaccuracies in the list.
You have and also let you assess the patients understanding of their medication regimen. Then use the list to explore discrepancies and confirm information. Finally.
You should probe to identify additional medications or products. Which may be absent from the list here are some suggested questions to help you obtain an accurate medication history. Whether or not you start with an available medication list begin with a simple open ended question.
Like what medicines do you take. Then ask about scheduled and prn medications. You can probe prn drugs by giving common symptoms.
That may. Prompt medication use such as headaches. Allergies or insomnia.
Then fill in the gaps. For each medication. Elicit.
The dose and time of day. The patient takes it if this information has not already been provided when appropriate asked about formulations such as extended release forms of diabetes. And blood pressure.
Agents and route of administration asking about the purpose of each medication. Provides information about patient understanding and may also lead to additional prompts for example.

Asking if the patient takes anything else for that condition. Asking about medications for specific conditions. That the patient has based on the patients problem list also helps complete the medication list ask about medications that are easy to forget.
Including those that are not taken orally are taken at night or are used at longer intervals such as weekly or monthly. Ask about non prescription products as well including vitamins assess when the patient last took a dose of certain medications. Particularly those that have a narrow therapeutic window like anticoagulants or affect.
Key physiologic parameters like agents for blood pressure or diabetes. Ask about adherence in a way that is open ended and non judgmental that makes it okay for patients to admit their difficulties for example you could say many patients dont take their medicines. Exactly as they should every day and the last week.
How many days have you missed a dose of one of your medicines to save time and still take an accurate medication history use a medication list or the patients pill bottles when they are available. If you have a list in the medical record that agrees with a patients list or bottles or if the patient seems reliable and can readily explain the differences you can complete the medication history. Fairly quickly a patient who can fluently describe the medication names doses frequencies and indications and is knowledgeable about recent medication changes is likely a reliable source of information.
It is not always necessary to get additional medication information from other sources. However in a few situations you may need to contact the patients pharmacy or provider. Or ask the family to bring in the medication bottle from home this could be important if the patient is unsure about medication names doses and indications when asked to verify an existing list or if the patient cannot explain discrepancies among medication lists gather additional data if the patient doesnt have a list and cant provide medication information.
Reliably from memory. This is important. If the available medication list has not been updated recently the nature of the missing.
Information. Should also be taken into account for example. If the only unresolved piece of information is the dose of a cholesterol lowering medication.
Then it is not as urgent to call the pharmacy for confirmation. But if the issue in question is the dose of insulin where any dose is possible and the risk of over or under treatment are high then it might be necessary to contact the pharmacy or outpatient providers office here is a short video that demonstrates the process of taking inaccurate medication history when a medication list is available. Mrs.
Davis. Id like to go over your medications with you to make sure we have a correct list cant you just look on my records. It should all be there actually i do have a printout of your medication list right here.
