Abstract: A medication information acquisition system facilitates collection and accurate consolidation of home medication history from data sources providing data of varying degrees of accuracy. A medication information acquisition system automatically acquires patient medication information from multiple different sources. The system includes an acquisition processor for, in response to user command, automatically interrogating multiple different information sources for acquiring and collating medication data to provide patient medication history data indicating medications a patient received prior to admission to a healthcare provider facility. The multiple different information sources include at least two of, (a) a pharmacy benefit management system, (b) a healthcare information system indicating medications a patient was receiving at the most recent time of discharge of the patient from a healthcare provider facility and (c) medication information derived by questioning the patient.

Abstract: An integrated clinical and medication reconciliation system includes a clinical information system incorporating a patient record management system and treatment order processing system. A medication reconciliation system incorporates a user interface providing a display image including a first image area identifying medications a patient is receiving following admission to a healthcare provider facility and a second image area indicating medications the patient received prior to admission to a healthcare provider facility and a third image area indicating a consolidated list of medications and enabling a user to individually select medications to be added from the first and second image areas to the third image area. An interface supports automatic communication of data representing the consolidated list of medications from the medication reconciliation system to the treatment order processing system.
