A health system's pilot experience with using Social Knowledge Networking (SKN) technology to enable meaningful use of EHR medication reconciliation technology.
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. This paper describes AU Health’s pilot experience with using Social Knowledge Networking (SKN) technology to enable meaningful use of EHR medication reconciliation technology.

Adverse and hypersensitivity reactions to prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents in a large health care system.
The researchers aimed to use electronic health record data to determine the incidence and predictors of hypersentivity reaction (HSR) to prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They concluded that NSAID therapeutic use can be limited by adverse drug reactions (ADRs); about 1 in 5 NSAID ADRs is an hypersentivity reaction.

Role of social knowledge networking technology in facilitating meaningful use of electronic health record medication reconciliation.
In this paper, Rangachari 1) conducted a narrative review of the literature on "technology use," to understand how technologies-in-practice may be transformed from limited use to meaningful use; 2) conducted a narrative review of the literature on "organizational change implementation," to understand how changes in technology use could be successfully implemented and sustained in a healthcare organizational context; and 3) applied lessons learned from the narrative literature reviews to identify strategies for the meaningful use and successful implementation of EHR Medication Reconciliation technology.
