Safer
Health Care Now! And The Canadian Association of Paediatric
Health Centres Paediatric Medication Reconciliation Collaborative
The Safer Healthcare Now! (SHN) campaign offers Canadian
healthcare organizations the opportunity to participate in
and support a campaign dedicated to improving patient safety,
through the implementation of six targeted interventions in
patient care. Among the six SHN! Campaign interventions, the
CAPHC Patient Safety Collaborative identified Medication Reconciliation
as their national paediatric priority. Medication reconciliation
involves clearly and accurately documenting patient medication
usage and reconciling discrepancies with medication orders.
Ultimately the goal is to develop a process that provides
an accurate record of a patient’s medication history
that can be used as the basis for medication orders as patients
are admitted, transferred between units and discharged. The
ultimate goal of CAPHC and the Safer Healthcare Now! Campaign
is to prevent adverse drug events by providing support for
paediatric health care centres and related organizations across
Canada to implement medication reconciliation.
