RESUMEN
Accurate medication lists are essential data required to make clinically informed decisions. Obtaining a comprehensive, up-to-date medication list is difficult for clinicians. Patients have limited input into reviewing and reconciling their own medication data. Ideally, a medication list would comprise a 360-degree view of all prescribed, dispensed, purchased medications and would seamlessly connect patients and providers to medication data from multiple sources. While an ideal medication list would capture every aspect of medication management, in reality a Best-Possible Medication History (BPMH) is a more achievable goal. In an effort to realize a BPMH and to facilitate the goals of the State of Connecticut's Office of Health Strategy's Medication Reconciliation and Polypharmacy Committee (MRPC), we engaged stakeholders (patients, clinicians, advocates) in focus-groups and interviews to solicit feedback on the user interface requirements for a BPMH. Feedback was obtained via facilitated discussions that occurred in-person, via virtual meetings, and through online surveys.
