What is A health system’s pilot experience with using social knowledge networking (SKN) technology to enable meaningful use of EHR medication reconciliation technology about?

Similar to issues faced in health systems across USA, AU Health, based in Augusta, Georgia, faced a scenario of low physician engagement in, and limited-use of its Electronic Health Record (EHR) Medication Reconciliation (MedRec) technology, which translated to high rates of medication discrepancies and low accuracy of the patient's active medication list, during transitions of care. In fall 2016, a two-year grant was secured from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), to pilot a Social Knowledge Networking (SKN) system pertaining to "EHR-MedRec," to enable AU Health to progress from "limited use" of EHR MedRec technology, to "meaningful use." The rationale behind an SKN system, is that it could provide a platform for inter-professional knowledge exchange on practice issues related to EHR MedRec, across diverse provider subgroups and care settings, to highlight adverse consequences of gaps in practice for patient safety, and emphasize the value of adhering to best-practices in EHR MedRec. This, in turn, is expected to increase provider in addressing issues related to EHR MedRec, and promote inter-professional of best-practices, to create a foundation for practi
