BPMH Training for Pharmacy Technicians

Thursday, February 18, 2016
1 day workshop

This one-day interactive workshop provides hospital pharmacy technicians with fundamentals of medication reconciliation (MedRec), hands-on practice in conducting a Best Possible Medication History (BPMH) interview and documenting the necessary components of a BPMH.

MedRec is a formal process to ensure communication of accurate medication information throughout a person's healthcare journey. The BPMH is the cornerstone of MedRec.

Whether you are new to MedRec or are a seasoned MedRec technician, this workshop will give you a fresh perspective, new ideas and tools that you can start using right away in your practice.

At the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the role of MedRec as it affects patient care
  2. Understand where and how MedRec takes place
  3. Understand the role of the BPMH at all care transitions
