MEDICATION ERROR RECORD REVIEW

## The order, the MAR line and the pharmacy record have to say the same dose.

Medication error record review services reconcile the order, the pharmacy verification, the MAR line and the resulting lab and vital-sign trend into one cited timeline, flagging every place the three records disagree. Whether the discrepancy caused the harm stays with your experts.

### Drug administration is governed by regulation and by named safety standards.

We do not build for a case type until we can name the standard that defines a correct output and the person who grades the file against it. In medication cases the correct output is defined by the conditions of participation, the accreditation goals and the published high-alert drug lists.

The standard and the referee
The rulebook
- 42 CFR §482.23(c) and §482.25, the Medicare conditions of participation governing drug administration and pharmaceutical services, including how orders are documented and verified
- The Joint Commission NPSG.03.06.01 on medication reconciliation and NPSG.03.04.01 on labeling, which make reconciliation at every transition of care a documented step
- The ISMP List of High-Alert Medications and the ISMP List of Confused Drug Names, which name the drugs where an administration error is foreseeable rather than freak
- The forum state’s certificate of merit or affidavit of merit statute, which requires a qualified expert to certify the claim before it proceeds

The referee
- The trial court on the certificate of merit, and again at a Rule 702 hearing on the pharmacology opinion
- The state board of pharmacy and the state medical board, which read the same medication administration record under their own standards
- The hospital pharmacy and therapeutics committee, whose own event review runs on the same order, verification and administration entries

How it works

### 3 steps between the medication file and the reconciliation.

01

#### Send the medication file

Physician orders, the MAR, pharmacy verification and dispensing records, nursing notes, labs, vital sign flowsheets and any event report, in any format.

02

#### We return the reconciliation, page-cited

Every ordered dose beside its pharmacy verification and its administration entry, with the lab and vital-sign trend that followed, and every disagreement flagged.

03

#### Your expert certifies

Whether the discrepancy breached the standard and whether it caused the harm are both expert opinions, sworn under your state’s merit statute.

The boundary, in writing

### A reconciliation of the records, not an opinion that the drug caused the harm.

We line the three records up and cite where they diverge. We do not opine that an administration was negligent, that a dose was toxic, or that the medication caused the outcome. Those are opinions for a qualified physician or pharmacologist.

In the demo case, page 140 turned out to belong to a different patient. In a medication file that error attributes another patient’s dose to this one, so it is quarantined rather than reconciled quietly.

#### HIPAA, under a signed BAA

Every file is handled under our Business Associate Agreement, from the first byte.

#### Never trains a model

Your records are never used to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's.

#### Every line cited

If we can't cite it, we don't say it. Every sentence links to its source page.

#### Deleted after delivery

Files are deleted 30 days after delivery, with a full audit log of every access.

Powered by the platform

### 7 capabilities behind every MAR reconciliation.

The MAR reconciliation is one deliverable of the same platform that reads, sorts, and cites the whole record.

#### Medical Record Deduplication

Forty charts pulled from multiple practices and EHR migrations carry their share of duplicate visit notes. Each is matched and collapsed to one canonical record, so the prescribing pattern is read once per real encounter.

IN ACTION · 40 charts → duplicate visit notes collapsed to 1 record each

#### Missing Records Identification

A prescribing pattern read across 40 charts is only as sound as the file behind it. When a chart references a visit, refill, or referral that never made it into the production, the gap is flagged before the pattern goes to the board.

IN ACTION · prescribing pattern cross-checked → gaps flagged before submission

#### Cross-Exam Simulator (beta)

A board investigator or defense counsel builds a case from the chart abstraction. This beta tool maps the questioning a physician facing that hearing is likely to face on the gaps and pattern in their own record. A rehearsal tool, not legal advice.

FAQ

### Medication error record review, answered.

No. We place the administration record beside the lab and vital-sign trend that followed it, with pages. Whether the one caused the other is a pharmacology opinion offered under Rule 702 by a qualified expert.

The disagreement is flagged in its own state with both pages cited. We do not decide which record is correct. In most medication cases that discrepancy is the case, so it belongs in front of counsel rather than smoothed into a summary.

Because the ISMP list is published and the defense knows it. A drug on that list carries a documented expectation of extra safeguards, so flagging it tells your expert where to look first rather than making any claim about the care.

No. Medrecords AI does not retrieve records from providers or facilities. You bring the records you already have — review starts in minutes from upload. Retrieval vendors take days; you can keep yours and still cut the review to minutes.

### Send one file. We'll tell you what we can read.

No obligation. If the case type is buildable we'll scope it; if it isn't, we'll say so.
