The three types of data used in clinical reconciliation, Allergies, Home Medications and Problems, are displayed in the Type column. NOTE: "Allergies" include all medication, food and environmental allergies for the patient.

 

Clinical Information Reconciliation Types: Allergies, Home Medication, and Problems

 

 

The Imported Records and Current Records columns will display "Yes" when there are pending or existing records and "No" if there is not. An application must have either Imported or Current records to perform a reconciliation for that type of data. If one or more of the types does not have records to reconcile, a message is displayed at the top of the screen in red, "Unable to perform clinical reconciliation if no imported or existing data is present."

 

NOTE: "No Known Allergies", "No Known Drug Allergies", "No Known Food Allergies", "No Known Environmental Allergies", "No Active problems", and "No Home medications" qualify as existing data.

 

The Status column displays "Incomplete" until a reconciliation has been completed for that application and "Complete" once a reconciliation has been performed. For applications at a "Complete" status, the name of the user who performed the reconciliation will display in the Reconciled By column, and the date and time of the reconciliation will display in the Date/Time column.

 

The three types may be reconciled either together or individually if they have either imported or current records.

 

 

The Action Bar options are as follows:

 

•Select All: Highlights all three types. Once selected, the Action Bar option will display as "Deselect All".

 

•Process: The respective clinical reconciliation screen is displayed for the selected type/application. When multiple types/applications are selected and after the first selected type's clinical reconciliation screen has been addressed, the second selected type's clinical reconciliation screen will be displayed. The system will progress in this manner until all of the selected type's/applications' clinical reconciliation screens have been addressed.

 

•Refresh: Performs a manual refresh of the Clinical Information Reconciliation screen.

 

NOTE: If the site has purchased Medication Reconciliation and a user processes Home Medications, the user will actually be reconciling into Medication Reconciliation.
