SUMMARY AND SPECIFICATIONS JOB SUMMARY

The Medication Reconciliation Technician (MRT) will be independently obtaining medication and allergy histories for patients in the Emergency Department (ED). Information will be obtained by interviewing the patient, family, calling local pharmacies, Long Term Care facilities and other resources. The information obtained will be entered into a computer system and used by physicians, pharmacist, nurses, and other health care providers to determine treatment plans and medication orders during and post discharge from the hospital. The outcome of this interview is a formulation of a complete and accurate medication list that is ready and available for physicians and nurses in a timely manner. The MRT will follow the patient to the inpatient arena for medication reconciliation as needed. The MRT will promote patient safety through medication reconciliation by reviewing all of the medication so that the patient is taking the right medication and the right doses. As patients are admitted to the hospital we must assist in the process of avoiding unnecessary discrepancies of medications and provide the most accurate up to date medication list. The Medication Reconciliation Tech reports up through the ED Manager or designee. The program oversight, continuing education & policies are supported by the Pharmacy Director.
