Improving Patient Safety through Medication Reconciliation
12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. (1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™)
Room 311, Convention Center
Faculty:
Eric Alper, MD, Associate Professor,
University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester
Medication reconciliation—the process of comparing a patient’s medication orders with all of the medications he or she has been taking—can be challenging. Lack of patient knowledge regarding medication details, multiple care providers, multiple sources obtaining different medication lists for the same patient as well as new Joint Commission requirements contribute to the difficulty. Hospitals are finding it challenging to determine the best method to manage patient medications and thereby improve patient safety.
Some experts believe that to improve patient safety, medication reconciliation should involve three steps: (1) verification, which involves collecting a complete and accurate list of the patient’s medication history and other medication information; (2) clarification, for ensuring that medication and dosages are appropriate for the patient; and (3) reconciliation, which involves resolving any discrepancies and documenting changes and new orders.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Apply the concepts of medication reconciliation to the admission process in a pilot population.
- Reduce unreconciled medications at the admission process.
- Measure the process of medication reconciliation.
- Develop a plan for spread of reconciliation to other transition points, including transfer and discharge.
Investigating Health Information Transformation:
Strategies for Successful EHR Selection and Implementation
2:15 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. (1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™)
Room 311, Convention Center
Faculty:
Stephen R. Levinson, MD
Facing the current national enthusiasm for electronic health records (EHRs), physicians pose questions ranging from, “Should I get an EHR?” or “Which one should I get?” to “How do I know what questions I should ask?” and “How do I know it will work well for me?”
The need to successfully address these questions from the physicians’ perspective requires us to focus on one of the EHR’s critical components, the medical history and physical, and how this feature affects physicians and the process of providing patient care. While this particular medical record feature is most often overlooked in technical reviews, vendor presentations and summaries of information technology benefits, it is of paramount importance for physicians, and it is the cornerstone for the potential success of EHRs in promoting quality patient care.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Help physicians’ identify their individual electronic record requirements.
- Analyze the strengths and possible pitfalls of current electronic H&P designs and functionality, plus potential remedies for identified problems.
- Provide measures and benchmarks for evaluating a system’s ability to meet medical practice needs for quality care, compliance, usability, efficiency, data integrity and productivity.
- Provide a protocol and assess the realistic manpower needs for EHR transformation.
Economic Credentialing: What Medical Staff Leaders Need to Know

The hospital response to physician groups developing revenue-enhancing ancillary lines of service has ranged dramatically, from offers to form joint ventures to threats to limit or revoke medical staff privileges under conflict-of-interest or economic credentialing policies. This session will examine regulatory issues involved in economic credentialing including the Office of the Inspector General oversight under the anti-kickback statute, antitrust law considerations and the Joint Commissions’ requirements.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Implement strategies to address the potential implementation of economic credentialing.
- Explain legal issues involving economic credentialing policies.
- Access physician/hospital rights and remedies and develop other methods for addressing physician/hospital disputes.

Room 323, Convention Center
Faculty:
Ian Morrison, PhD, Author, Consultant, Futurist
As the nation’s health care system continues to struggle in its search for affordable solutions that deliver value, health care costs are rising and the burden is increasingly being shifted to consumers. The growing uninsured and rising costs for payers and providers alike; large-scale vertical integration in health care not taking place; the consolidation of health plans, hospital systems and physician groups; the roller coaster of change in reimbursement and medical technology the industry is facing many pressures and looking for a new direction and vision.
This presentation will focus on the political, economic and strategic context of change in health care and will examine how the various actors are preparing for the future. It will address the quest for value in health care by health plans, public and private payers, and consumers, as well as how health care providers may respond.

Administrative Simplification – Automation of the Physician Practice
12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Room 317 A&B, Convention Center
Speakers:
Mark Rieger, CEO, NHXS
Tammy Banks, Manager, Practice Management Center, AMA
The session outlines current AMA efforts to shine a spotlight on the urgent need to focus on administrative simplification efforts by reducing the burden of manual processes currently required in the physician practice claims management revenue cycle versus the controversial cost containment efforts that are underway by health plan insurers. The AMA encourages the adoption of real-time health plan insurer patient eligibility and payment verification systems along with the reduction of the manual processes in the physician practice’s claim management revenue cycle throughout the industry. Currently, several health plan insurers are performing varying forms of real-time auto-adjudication pilot tests. These pilot tests are raising physicians’ reservations concerning the effect on practice workflow, patient financial responsibility estimations, and cost-effectiveness, along with the uncertainty as to if real-time auto-adjudication will lead to an increase in the already burdensome health plan insurer retrospective audits, as well as an increase in physician practice’s appeals due to inappropriately paid claims (due to bundled procedures). This session will outline the benefits and pitfalls to look out for when real-time claims adjudication promises come to town.
