Denominator: The number of face-to-face encounters that have the "Incoming Transition of Care Patient" box checked within the Meaningful Use Patient Dashboard.  By placing a check in this box, this will add "Medication Reconciliation" to the Patient Dashboard list.

Numerator: The number of encounters in the denominator for whom the physician has indicated that the active medications list has been reconciled during this encounter.  When a user clicks on the "Medication Reconciliation" item in the Patient Dashboard, they will be asked the following question: "Will the patient's Active Medications list be reconciled during this encounter?".  If the user answers yes, this will be counted in the numerator.  If the users answers no, it will not be calculated in the numerator.

Threshold: The resulting percentage must be more than 50%.

* Scoring is individual, provider-based and not practice-wide.

This step is likely already being done for Maintain Active Medications List. Refer to the link for more information on how this is accomplished in SOAPware.
