IF there is a delay between recording the BPMH and when the physician orders home medications, is there a process of review of medications on Best Possible Medication History (BPMH)?

If there is a delay, has our team built in processes to double-check information entered on the BPMH?

Is there a consistent location where the BPMH is placed on the patient’s chart?

Is there a method of alerting physicians that a BPMH is used on a patient’s chart?

Does our team use the maximum number of available medication information sources to create the BPMH (family physician, patient questionnaire, PharmaNet profile, patient interview)?

Do stakeholders TRUST that the medications on the BPMH represent an accurate and complete list at the time of documentation?
