We are currently looking at our admission medication reconciliation process. Currently if a patient has previously been in our hospital the home medications from a previous admission will pull in for review and update. The usual process would be for the nurse to update the list and then the provider reconcile the home medications for admission.

However, there are times the nurse has not yet updated the list and the physician is attempting to reconcile the home medications. Currently our EHR gives them a warning that the home med list is not done but allows them to proceed and reconcile despite it not being updated.

Are there any sites that have hard stops in place to prevent the provider from reconciling based on old home medications? or any EHR's do not bring forward the old list?

IF anyone has any additional strategies used to help in this process, feel free to add that as well.
Thank you
