At Toronto-based North York General Hospital (NYGH), one simple phrase resonates across the organization's 5,000+ staff, physicians and volunteers: Our patients come first in everything we do. With that mentality, the three-facility academic medical center embarked on a multi-year clinical transformation, including a complete redesign of its medication administration process. In 2010, NYGH implemented a closed-loop medication administration (CLMA) process, which allows clinicians to use Cerner's fully integrated electronic health record (EHR) to ensure the right dose of the right medication is given to the right patient at the right time. By leveraging information technology solutions, like Cerner's PowerChart, WorkFlowMonitor, Inpatient Pharmacy and CareMobile, at every step in the process, CLMA eliminates manual entry and fires an alert if a medication does not match the active orders in the EHR. From 2010-2015, NYGH detected and avoided more than 11,000 potential medication errors using CLMA. "The Canadian Adverse Events study identified that 23.6 percent of adverse events in hospitals are related to medications, and that many of these events are preventable." said Chief Medical Information Officer, Dr. Jeremy Theal. "CLMA is a prime example of how health information technology can reduce the risk of medication errors and make it easier for clinicians to deliver high quality care."
