Leapfrog - Medication Reconciliation Measure

Our institution is looking to participate in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey. If your institution participates, we are looking for input on FTE/time requirements specific to the Medication Reconciliation Measure.

(1) How many charts do you audit?
30 are required, but do you budget for more in the event patients don’t meet criteria for the audit?

(2) How much time is required by the technician or pharmacist for each med history audit?

(3) How much time is required by the pharmacist for each admission comparison audit?
- Taking into account contacting the provider if discrepancies are identified.

(4) How much time is required by the pharmacist for each discharge comparison audit?
- Taking into account contacting the provider if discrepancies are identified.

(5) Is the Survey Coordinator for the audits someone within pharmacy or do they send the results of each audit to the quality group overseeing the Leapfrog Survey?

(6) If within pharmacy, how much time is required for the Survey Coordinator for each audit?

Thanks for sharing your experience!
