Engaging hospital patients in the medication reconciliation process using tablet computers.
Researchers conducted a pilot study to determine whether patients’ use of an electronic home medication review tool on a table computer could improve medication safety before or after hospitalization. Patients were randomized to the tool and out of 76 patients approached, 65 participated. About three-quarters (74%) made changes to their home medication list. Out of that total, 74% of the changes identified had a significant or greater potential severity, and 49% had a greater than 50-50 chance of harm. This medication reconciliation tool showed great potential to improve medication safety during and after hospitalization.

Supporting collaborative health tracking in the hospital: patients' perspectives.
Through interviews and design probes, the authors of this study investigated hospitalized patients' health data tracking activity and analyzed their results using the stage-based personal informatics model. Their findings uncovered new directions for HCI research and highlighted ways to support patients in tracking their care and improving patient safety.
