Medication reconciliation… It’s why every Veteran is asked to bring their meds with them to every appointment. It can seem like a pointless burden, but there is a very important reason behind it.
RN Tristen Knolla was recently completing a med rec while checking in a patient. The patient had brought in his med bottles and, during her review, she verified the patient was taking both Eliquis and apixaban. These are both the same medication, resulting in the patient talking double what he should have been.
Tristen confirmed the patient had no signs or symptoms of a GI bleed and notified providers. Additional measures were employed to prevent future events.
Tristen took the opportunity to reinforce with her team the importance of line-by-line medication review and expectations at the nurse check in: Review all meds, not just clinic-specific meds. This contributes not only to preventing future adverse events but also to patient education and understanding.
Great Catch, Tristen! Thank you for your attention to detail and the compassionate care you provide to the Veterans we serve.
