The Key Steps of Medication Reconciliation with Synapse Platform

1. Fill in the patient record

Add contact information, clinical issues, and contact information of their healthcare team.

2. Gather treatment information

Gather the information on medication from several sources.

3. Obtain the best possible medication history (BPMH)

BPMH is an exhaustive and pharmaceutically validated list of the patient’s medication.

4. Fill in the hospital prescription

Add all the drug treatments prescribed to the patient during their hospital admission.

5. Launch the pharmaceutical analysis

Get access to a summary of all the potential iatrogenic drug events linked to the BPMH and/or the hospital prescriptions.

6. Validate the medication reconciliation

Compare the BPMH with the hospital prescription to detect any potential discrepancies that may or may not need pharmaceutical intervention.

« Synapse Medicine has a dynamic, and reliable team with whom we have been able to develop a digital, user-oriented medication reconciliation tool.

When doing medication reconciliation, the whole process of entering and interpreting the patient’s treatments often takes a long time. This is usually done on paper or in Excel spreadsheets, which can lead to errors. Our partnership with Synapse Medicine has allowed us to change the way we think about medication reconciliation: it is reassuring, it makes routine clinical pharmacy activities much easier and faster. »
