Best Possible Medication History (EHR)
Completing this course is a requirement for health care professionals to document a Best Possible Medication History (BPMH) in Cerner.
The BPMH is the first step of the medication reconciliation process. All subsequent steps depend on an accurate and complete BPMH. Medication reconciliation is a critical component of delivering safe patient care and preventing adverse drug events.
Medication reconciliation is an Accreditation Canada Required Organizational Practice and an Island Health priority.
Medication Safety highly recommends taking this course annually to maintain competency.
