Design of MARQUIS2: study protocol for a mentored implementation study of an evidence-based toolkit to improve patient safety through medication reconciliation.
The first Multi-center Medication Reconciliation Quality Improvement Study (MARQUIS1) demonstrated that implementation of a medication reconciliation best practices toolkit decreased total unintentional medication discrepancies in five hospitals. In this study, the investigators sought to implement the MARQUIS toolkit in more diverse hospitals, incorporating lessons learned from MARQUIS1.

Design and implementation of structured clinical documentation support tools for treating stroke patients.
This article describes the development of a customized structured clinical documentation toolkit that standardizes patient data collection to conform to Best Practices for treating patients with stroke. The toolkit collects demographic information for patients, relevant score test measures, and information on disability, treatment, and outcomes. Basic descriptive data gathered via the toolkits is provided and their utility in collecting patient data in a manner that supports both quality clinical care and research initiatives demonstrated. Quality improvement projects and current research initiatives using the toolkit are also discussed.
