Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The mean number of medication changes compared to the LSP medication overview that is corrected trough medication reconciliation in the group using the e-health medication reconciliation compared to the usual care group.
Secondary outcome
- The time investment per patient by a pharmacy technician to be able to calculate if the new method is more time efficient.
- For the patient group that was randomized to the e-health medication reconciliation (eMR) result of the MR will be compared to the result of the eMR. This is a secondary endpoint to be able to optimize the eMR.
-The following patient characteristics are collected to evaluate the differences in different patients in the effectiveness of the e-health medication reconciliation. Age, gender, medical specialty and comorbidities, and computer experience.
- Patient satisfaction about the eMR and regular MR is evaluated to assess if the eMR is easy to understand and acceptable to perform and to evaluate if patients prefer eMR above MR.
Background summary
Medication reconciliation is required in each transition point of care. In the majority of Dutch hospitals medication reconciliation in the preoperative stage is performed by pharmacy technicians. However performing medication reconciliation in every preoperative patient is a very time consuming process. E-health may support patients to perform medication reconciliation by themselves without the need for pharmacy technicians. An application developed by Zorgdoc is already implemented in current practice of the St. Maartenskliniek, Nijmegen, to perform medication reconciliation. However, no data are available about the performance of the Zorgdoc application compared to the pharmacy technician. Therefore this study will investigate if medication reconciliation by the e-health application is as good as a standardized medication reconciliation by a pharmacy technician.
Study objective
Medication reconciliation using an e-health application is as good as structured medication reconciliation by a pharmacy technician
