Understanding Medication Reconciliation
Managing multiple medications can be complex, especially when transitioning between healthcare settings. At The Straits Geriatric Centre, our Medication Reconciliation service ensures all medications are reviewed and adjusted as needed to maintain safety and effectiveness. By addressing potential issues, we help prevent errors, improve health outcomes, and provide peace of mind for patients and their families.
Think of it as creating a clear, accurate picture of your medication regimen, so you can focus on achieving better health.
What is Medication Reconciliation?
Medication Reconciliation is a structured process that ensures all prescribed medications are appropriate, safe, and necessary. It involves reviewing medications across all stages of care—whether during hospital discharge, clinic visits, or routine check-ups. By identifying duplications, potential interactions, or outdated prescriptions, our service ensures your treatment plan remains effective and aligned with your health goals.
This process not only improves the efficacy of treatments but also helps reduce the risks of complications, providing patients and caregivers with clarity and confidence.
How Medication Reconciliation Works
Our service follows a detailed process to ensure all medications are assessed and optimised for safety and effectiveness:
Comprehensive Medication Review
A healthcare professional thoroughly examines all current medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements, to identify potential risks or redundancies.
Evaluation of Medical Conditions
We assess your health conditions, lifestyle, and treatment goals to ensure your medications remain appropriate and aligned with your needs.
Identification of Interactions
Medications are carefully checked for potential interactions or contraindications, reducing the risk of adverse effects.
Adjustment of Medications
Based on the findings, we make necessary adjustments, such as discontinuing unnecessary medications, updating dosages, or recommending safer alternatives.
Coordination with Healthcare Providers
We collaborate with doctors and pharmacists to align your prescriptions with your overall care plan, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
Patient and Caregiver Education
We provide clear, detailed instructions on updated medications and help you understand any changes to your regimen.
Follow-Up Monitoring
Regular check-ins ensure the revised medication plan is working effectively, with further adjustments made as needed to optimise outcomes.
