Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This project's findings should provide valuable lessons to all hospitals regarding the best ways to design and implement medication reconciliation interventions to improve medication safety during transitions in care.
SPECIFIC AIMS:
Aim 1: Develop a toolkit consolidating the best practice recommendations for medication reconciliation
Aim 2: Conduct a multi-center mentored quality improvement project in which each site adapts the tools for its own environment and implements them
Aim 3: Assess the effects of a mentored medication reconciliation quality improvement intervention on unintentional medication discrepancies with potential for patient harm
Aim 4: Conduct rigorous program evaluation to determine the most important components of a medication reconciliation program and how best to implement it

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pre-intervention
Usual care regarding medication reconciliation as currently practiced at each participating site.
No interventions assigned to this group
Intervention
Improved medication reconciliation process using continuous quality improvement methods, mentored implementation, and an implementation guide.
Mentored medication reconciliation quality improvement
Based on expert recommendations from a recent conference on medication reconciliation sponsored by the Society of Hospital Medicine and funded by AHRQ, investigators will engage a steering committee and conduct a second conference to operationalize these recommendations into a set of "best practice" guidelines, standards, and tools to be adapted by each of 6 participating sites. After training mentors and developing data collection tools, a mentored quality improvement project will be conducted for 21 months, in which each site works to improve medication reconciliation using the toolkit and with mentorship in the form of two site visits and monthly phone calls.
