Staying safe this summer a top priority for Fort Lee KAHC Physical Therapy
The combination of summer weather, longer daylight hours and barbeque smells wafting through the air often bring back memories of our youth. Many recall the anticipation of “no more pencils, no more books,” and those glorious times when every outdoor activity from sports to swimming was yours to enjoy. Regretfully though, the Alice Cooper “Schools Out” days are
over now that we’re “Working for a Living,” but that shouldn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves even if we’re not as spry as we used to be. This article includes the “codes of exercise” I live by at age 40. Warming up is not just for leftovers in the refrigerator – 5-10 minutes of proper warm-up can save you a lifetime of pain. There are a variety of ways to get your body and muscles ready for the physical exertion of an outdoor sporting exercise. For softball, I play catch for a few minutes with
a player 10-20 feet away and gradual increase the distance. For volleyball, I do a few jumps where I try to touch a spot 6-10 inches above my outstretched arms across the front of the net, and then practice some bumps and sets. If I decide to go out for a run, I start slowly and even walk for 1-2 minutes before increasing my speed to a running pace at about minute seven (a GPS watch helps). Be aware also that an aging body takes longer to cool down after strenuous exercise or any activity under the hot summer sun. Healthy
DMV urges caution for pedestrians, drivers RICHMOND – The Department of Motor Vehicles is reminding Virginians to avoid dangers commonly associated with summer. Warmer weather means more people are out and about walking, and more drivers are on the roads as the summer travel season begins. Pedestrians are urged to take measures to stay safe. Statistics from Virginia’s Highway Safety Office show 78 pedestrian fatalities in 2013. Nine were in Norfolk, eight in Fairfax County, and six each in Henrico and Prince William counties. “Statistics show the majority of pedes-
trian fatalities are happening in urban areas where there is a lot of foot traffic, and we are encouraging people everywhere to be safe,” said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb, Governor McAuliffe’s highway safety representative. “These types of incidents can happen just as easily in rural areas where crosswalks may not be as readily available and there’s less street lighting.” Visibility is a key component in pedestrian safety. Just because he or she can see a driver, doesn’t mean they see you. DMV urges pedestrians to walk against traffic, wear proper, reflective clothing

and use crosswalks. When possible, make eye contact with drivers to make sure they notice you. Also, don’t walk impaired or distracted. Talking on the phone, texting and listening to music while walking can make it harder for a person to pay attention to what’s going on around them. And, a person who has been drinking may not be aware of surroundings and walk in front of traffic. Twenty-eight percent of the pedestrian fatalities in 2013 were attributed to the pedestrian drinking. DMV’s Virginia Highway Safety Office reminds Virginians to designate a sober driver and rest before all holiday celebrations begin. “To prevent a tragedy from occurring this summer, do not drive after drinking any alcohol, period,” said Holcomb. “Even one drink can adversely affect a driver’s

persists. For lesser injuries think “relative rest,” which is avoidance of the same activity but continued movements (in other words, walk it off, don’t “suck it up”). Even if the soreness goes away, it’s probably a good idea to avoid the same game for a while. You are much more likely to sustain a serious injury if you aggravate a minor one by immediately returning to the same game. The final tip is by far the most important one … get regular physical examinations by your health care provider. That’s the surest way to be made aware of potential health problems that could take you out of the game for the rest of the summer.

reaction time and his or her ability to operate a motor vehicle. With the added traffic during the summer months, be sure to designate a sober driver before heading to your cook-out or trip to the beach.” Being sleepy affects everyone’s ability to drive safely. Drowsiness makes drivers less attentive, slows reaction time and affects a driver’s ability to make decisions. The warning signs of drowsy driving include yawning or blinking frequently, difficulty remembering the past few miles driven, missing an exit, and drifting from your lane and hitting a rumble strip. “Get a good night’s sleep, eight-to-nine hours for adults and nine-to-ten hours for adolescents, and set out on the road when you are feeling fresh,” Holcomb recommended. – Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles

eating and drinking will help to maintain a proper balance of body temperatures. When going for a longer run or while outside doing moderate sports activities like volleyball, football or soccer, I tend to reach for drinks that promote rapid rehydration rather than alcoholic beverages that are proven to have exact opposite effect. There are many sports drinks available; just be sure to read the label and look for unhealthy ingredients like excessive sugar or salt. Try to drink about 4-8 ounces every 15-30 minutes depending on activity, outside temperature and humidity. Don’t ignore signs of injury. For sprains, strains, muscle pulls and tears remember R.I.C.E. – rest, ice, compression and elevation – and seek medical attention if the pain

Starbucks coming to Lee Exchange Trish Muntean Community/Family Life Reporter
Members of the Fort Lee community will be able to experience the signature taste of Starbucks coffee starting June 23 when a café opens at the main exchange mall. “We’re looking forward to it; we think it is a good thing for the community,” said Audrey Alston, AAFES Fort Lee Exchange general manager. “This is a training post, they need coffee.” Anyone who is familiar with the popular retailer knows that coffee is not all it sells. It offers many food items as well as roasted coffee beans, teas, many types of hot and cold drinks, coffee accessories, and more. Alston was especially excited about the community having another option
for breakfast and lunch. Although the project has been in the works for quite some time, construction will be finished this week and Starbucks is currently setting up the shop. Merchandise will arrive the first week of June and training of new employees will begin shortly thereafter. A manager and a few other employees have been hired, however 25 employees are still needed before Starbucks can open its doors. To apply, go to shopmyexchange.com or visit the AAFES Human Resource office which is located with the administrative offices at the PXtra. Starbucks will be open seven days a week, Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on the weekends from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Additional hours will be based on customer demand.

The 16th Ordnance Battalion said farewell to one leader and welcomed another during a change of command ceremony Wednesday at Whittington Parade Field on the Ordnance Campus. Lt. Col. Susan E. Manion, incoming commander, took the reins from Lt. Col. Steven N. Carozza during the event where Col. Thomas Rivard, 59th Ordnance Brigade commander, passed the guidon between the two Soldiers. Rivard first thanked Carozza for his leadership of the battalion and said he captures the essence of being an officer. “It’s been a true pleasure watching Steve as a battalion commander,” he said. “It seems like he went through the last two years as he was preparing his whole life to command a battalion. That is to say, he took it personally and the 16th Ordnance Battalion is that much better for it.” After thanking Rivard and Brig. Gen. Jack Haley, Chief of Ordnance, for their command guidance, Carozza thanked his fellow Soldiers within the battalion. “No commanders are ever successful on
their own,” said Carozza. “They are ultimately reliant on the strong backs and iron will of the leaders who work within their organization. There are literally hundreds of those leaders that I could thank today.” In keeping with the Army tradition of replacing one great leader with another, Rivard welcomed Manion to the brigade family. “Having established the long list of Carozza’s attributes, there’s still tremendous opportunity for the battalion to continue its upward momentum because we replace talent with talent,” he said. “Lt. Col. Manion comes to us immensely qualified as evidenced by her myriad of operational assignments. I look forward to working with (her) along with her new command sergeant major.” Manion thanked everyone for attending the event and said she was excited to get started as the battalion commander. “I am absolutely honored to be here today,” she said. “It is the highest privilege to serve with troops and patriots. I’m humbled by the opportunity to lead these remarkable Americans standing on the field who have raised their right hand and volunteered to serve this great nation during a time of war and uncertainty in the world.”

She’s done it for most of her military career, but Command Sgt. Maj. Ruth E. Potter said it’s still a matter of esteem and privilege to affect the lives of Soldiers. “For any command sergeants major or sergeants major to have the responsibility to be in charge of Soldiers, it’s an honor and it’s always a great day,” said the motor transport operator at the Army Logistics University’s multipurpose room. Potter made those remarks May 22 at during a 71st Transportation Battalion Change of Responsibility Ceremony in which she became the unit’s top enlisted Soldier. She also found it necessary to address any questions surrounding
her preparedness to take on the job. “For everyone who has asked me if I’m ready,” she said self-assuredly, “I’m always ready. As leaders we should always be ready.” Potter replaced CSM Anthony J. Bargaineer, who came to the 71st during the summer of 2012 and who is slated to retire in the near future. Lt. Col. Kevin M. Holton, the 71st commander, officiated the ceremony. Brig. Gen. John
Sullivan, Chief of Transportation, John E. Hall, ALU president, Col. Robert A. Harney Jr., ALU commandant, and CSM Allen B. Offord, former Trans. Corps regimental CSM, also were in attendance as were members of the Potter and Bargaineer families. Promising to keep her speech short, Potter thanked all of those of welcomed her and assisted with the transition. She gave special thanks to Holton, who she lauded as the “coolest battalion commander” on the installation and who provided deeper insights about his leadership style during a lunch meeting. “His emphasis is always on Soldiers and training,” she said, thanking him for the opportunity.

Timothy P. Williams enjoyed two special monumental days this month. On May 13, he learned that Governor Terry McAuliffe would name him the next Adjutant General of Virginia the next day. Leading the Virginia Army National Guard, Virginia Air National Guard and Virginia Defense Force is “a thrill of a lifetime,” said the current civilian director of training support and doctrine at CASCOM. He is also a colonel in the Virginia National Guard. On May 14, Williams was told that a book he co-authored, “Let’s Go! The History of the 29th Infantry Division 19172001,” would soon be published. “Yes, it was an unbelievable week,” said Williams. “I will have some big shoes to fill (as adjutant general).” He will succeed Maj. Gen. Daniel E. “Chip” Long Jr. who will retire at the end of May. “This is a big challenge ... an assignment that culminates my military career and an extension of everything I’ve learned,” said Williams. In a news release issued May 14, McAuliffe said, “Col. Tim Williams’ vision, record of service and commitment to keeping Virginians safe make him the right choice to become Virginia’s next Adjutant General.” The release continued, “As a distinguished leader in the U.S. Army and the Virginia National Guard who served our country in Iraq, Col. Williams understands the Guard, the men and women who serve in it and the critical role they play in protecting our way of life as Virginians.” In reflecting on his career, the Richmond native said, “I always wanted to be in the Army and serve.” Williams earned his commission as a field artillery officer from Virginia Tech in 1985 and served on active duty in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment until 1990 when he joined the Virginia Army National Guard. He commanded at the field artillery battery and battalion level before transferring to the logistics corps and commanding the Virginia Beach-based 329th Regional Support Group for four years. His most recent military assignment was J8 director of resource management on the Virginia National Guard Joint Staff.

CASCOM’s Timothy P. Williams will become Adjutant General of Virginia at the end of May.
Williams has a family connection to the Virginia Adjutant General office. “My grandfather, Bill Thornton, drove a jeep for Capt. (Sheppard) Crump in the 1920s as a member of the guard.” Crump later became Adjutant General. Williams came to Fort Lee and CASCOM in 2000 starting with the Enterprise Systems Directorate and later Force Development and Battle Lab. “I’ve loved every assignment at CASCOM and will miss the team here.” Williams mobilized in 2003 for Operation Noble Eagle where he worked with security operations for U.S. Air Force installations in the mid-Atlantic states. He also deployed in 2007 for Operation Iraqi Freedom where he supported theater level logistics transformation. He is proud of the military history book he co-authored with Alexander F. Barnes, a logistics management supervisor in the ESD. It covers the 29th Infantry from the activation of the National Guard in 1916 through the birth of the 29th Div. for World War I in 1917 up to the Bosnia rotation. “It was a lot of fun working on it over about 18 months,” Williams added. “It will be published in July.”

Department of Labor representative Terry Gerton, Veteran’s Employment and Training Service deputy assistant secretary for policy, toured CASCOM on May 20 to learn more about military training and the many credentialing initiatives that give service members a career boost in the civilian sector. Shortly after her arrival, Gerton met with senior leaders to discuss the continued partnership between the Department of Labor and TRADOC in the development of credentialing and training programs for military troops. To date, TRADOC’s Soldier for Life credentialing initiatives have resulted in more than 78 career-enhancing certifications and licensures across 43 military occupational specialties offered at CASCOM. During the meeting, Gerton emphasized the close working relationship between her depart-
ment and the military. She discussed how the Bureau of Labor Statistics and its Occupational Information Network are critical to the research used by the Army to select the right credentials that not only enhance a Soldier’s war-fighting readiness but also veteran transition requirements. “Documented credentials mean higher wages for transitioning veterans,” said Col. Reed Hudgins, CASCOM Credentialing, Certification and Licensing director. “A watercraft operator without credentials can get a job, but will earn about $38,000 per year. With documented credentials the number of job opportunities not only double, but also the starting salary (grows to) nearly $70,000 per year.” The individual cost for each credentialing enrollment is less than $200, Hudgins added. After the meeting, Gerton toured the Joint Culinary Center of Excellence, part of the U.S. Army Quartermaster School. She learned about
military food service training and the partnership JCCoE has with its credentialing partner, the American Culinary Federation. Gerton’s next stop was the U.S. Army Ordnance School where she learned about the many opportunities for service members to advance their skills through the Stryker Maintenance Course. While touring the facility, she viewed Soldiers training in hi-tech classrooms. Students in the course virtually troubleshoot problems with the vehicle using computer simulation before completing the hands-on portion of the training. For the future, the Army’s partnership will expand to include the Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship and Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration. Together with the Army, they are working with private rail employers to train and certify newly transitioning Soldiers to replace the industry’s aging workforce.

Brig. Gen. John P. Sullivan, Chief of Transportation, speaks to family members and Soldiers during the Transportation Corps Memorial Wall Rededication Ceremony at Fort Eustis on May 21. Sullivan said it was fitting to hold the rededication at Fort Eustis because it is home to two transportation brigades and the Transportation Museum.

FORT EUSTIS – The U.S. Army Transportation Corps paid tribute to 47 fallen Soldiers during a Memorial Wall Rededication Ceremony here May 21. The Memorial Wall is located in the Trans Corps Regimental Chapel at Fort Eustis and is inscribed with 1,972 names of Army transporters who gave their lives in the defense of freedom during conflicts ranging from the Vietnam War to Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. “Scores of transporters have served our nation and allies in conflicts dating back to the Revolutionary War, and continue to do so today in contingencies and operations around the globe,” said Col. Nancy Grandy, Army Transportation School assistant commandant, who gave opening remarks. “We gather this morning as veterans and Soldiers to pay tribute to our comrades and all those who have gone before us. America will always honor the achievements of gallantry, strong character and service of these transporters. The Memorial Wall will stand for years to come as a tribute to all transporters who have served our great nation.” Although the Transportation Corps headquarters is now at Fort Lee, Brig. Gen. John P. Sullivan, Chief of Transportation, said it was only fitting to hold the rededication ceremony at Fort Eustis, which is home to
much of the Army’s watercraft fleet, the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), the 597th Transportation Brigade and the Transportation Museum. It’s also where thousands of transportation Soldiers are trained each year. “Today, we collectively pause and pay tribute to those who are so richly deserving
of that tribute – our Transportation Corps Soldiers who gave the last full measure of devotion in defense of our great nation,” said Sullivan. “We gather here today in advance of the Memorial Day weekend to rededicate this wall to which we add the names of 47 Transportation Corps fallen warriors ... who were also mothers, fathers,

sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. Today, we ... celebrate their lives, honor their service and remember the sacrifice each of them made on behalf of a grateful nation. I know this chapel is filled today with ... some who served alongside those who we honor in this ceremony. Your presence here is a testament to the fact their memory lives on, and their legacy of service will not be forgotten.” Before unveiling the plaque inscribed with the names of the 47 Soldiers, Sullivan expressed a continued commitment to the families of the fallen who were recognized at the ceremony. “For the families – both those honoring us with their presence today as well as those who were not able to be with us – please know you will always remain a part of our Army Family,” said Sullivan. “I pledge to you we will never forget your loved ones’ service to our nation or the sacrifice they made on behalf of all our citizens who enjoy the freedoms our nation bestows.” The rededication concluded with a ceremonial bell ringing as each of the 47 names added to the plaque were read aloud. Families, Soldiers and friends were able to render a final salute, paying tribute to the fallen Transportation Corps Soldiers. The names of the Transportation Corps Soldiers memorialized during the ceremony included Staff Sgt. Justin R. Johnson, Staff Sgt. Eric T. Lawson and Sgt. Caryn E. Nouv who were assigned to the 359th Inland Cargo Transfer Company, 10th Transportation Battalion, 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) at Fort Eustis, and were killed in action during tours in Afghanistan in 2013. “These names represent the best of our nation, and they call on those of us serving today to live up to the example each of these heroes provided during their lives and the sacrifice they made for our nation,” said Sullivan. “By inscribing and preserving their names on this wall, we ensure these heroes are remembered, not just by our generation, but by many, many generations to follow. All of the 1,972 names on the Memorial Wall tell the story of courage, selfless service and commitment to our corps, our Army and to our nation.”

Dr. Emmanuel Eugenio, a Philippine-born physician who works for the Bon Secours Health System in Richmond, gives remarks at the AAPIHM observance. He highlighted the achievements of well-known Pacific Islanders like Senator Daniel Inouye and AsianAmerican Congresswoman Grace Meng, and said they are “shining examples” of diversity and vigilance. On behalf of the Asian American Society of Central Virginia, Eugenio also extended an invite to the entire Fort Lee community to “be their guest” at the 2015 Asian American celebration at the Richmond Coliseum. “We’ll take care of lunch,” he said as the audience chuckled with approval.

As a little girl, she received thorough -- and sometimes tear-inducing – critiques of her basketball game performances. Even though much of it was positive, 1st Lt. Zori Drew said she was clueless about the motive behind her father’s actions. “When you’re little you don’t understand those things,” said the Echo Company, 16th Ordnance Battalion Soldier. “Now, I do.” Drew was selected to participate in the trial camp for the International Military Women’s Basketball Championship that started Wednesday and runs through next Thursday at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa. One of 12 Army players selected for the tryouts that could lead to a tournament played in Europe, the 24-year-old said the opportunity to play is a big deal. “Not only for me, but for my mom and dad,” said Drew, “because that’s what I always talk-
ed to them about.” To earn a spot on the U.S. military team, Drew will battle not only the Army selectees but a collection of others from the Navy and Air Force. The 12-15 players selected will move on to represent the U.S. military team in the Conseil International du Sport Militaire, or CISM, women’s basketball tournament scheduled for June at Bauholder, Germany and Meyenheim, France. At 5-foot-7-inches tall, Drew said she desires to make the team as a point guard but can play the two or three positions, if necessary. “You can do more at the one than you can at the three because you are the one that controls the tempo of the game,” she said. Drew, who attended Brigham Young University – Hawaii on a basketball scholarship, started her first two years then came off the bench in the final two. She averaged roughly 12 points, 5 rebounds and three assists per game. Drew said
she is more of a facilitator than a scorer and is at her best directing the flow of action. “When I control the game, I look for my post players, my big man or my shooters,” she said. At the trial camp, she is likely to be challenged by unknown, right-outof-the-box former college players like herself and those with post-level experience. Not knowing who the other selectees are and their caliber of play makes it an even greater challenge, but the prospect of not knowing is not an issue, said Drew. “I’m not intimidated,” she said. “You just have to do what you know best. Just play, compete and have confidence.” The opportunity to “just play” on the international level is something Drew has always aspired to do. “I’m honored and humbled,” she said, indicating a full realization that her dream is before her. Drew’s parents – retired Army Reserve Capt. Derrick and retired Army

welcomes new top enlisted Soldier Continued from page 7 Bargaineer, also a motor transport operator, used his time at the podium to thank God, his family and all who supported his career and time at Fort Lee. He humored the audi-
ence on several occasions during his remarks and became emotional talking about his family and his relationship with Holton. Holton, in turn, said Bargaineer was a “battle buddy” and the consummate enlisted leader.
“As a battle buddy during this thing called command, CSM Bargaineer didn’t necessarily tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear.” He went on to say the 24year Soldier had a reputation for handling situa-
Lt. Col. Maria Drew – were both big supporters of her basketball career but played different roles in shaping her psyche. Her dad was the rougharound-the-edges motivator who pushed her beyond the limits no matter how she performed. “Whether I did good or bad after a game, he would still tell me some-
thing I could’ve done to perfect what I did in the game,” the only child said. “After every basketball game, I always cried. He had something to say– something I did wrong or something I did good, but he would just pound on me and say, ‘You could have done this better, better, better.’ So I have to give him a lot of credit.”
Drew’s mother could never come to the games since her military work schedule went from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., most days, but she could always balance her stay-at-home husband’s push for excellence with a nurturing affection. “He would come to the games, be in my ear, yelling, and she would come and comfort me and say, ‘It’s OK, it’s alright.’” Drew’s mother also accompanied her on a trip to Brigham Young University – Hawaii and helped her seal a fouryear basketball scholarship to the school. “Back and forth, my mother and father have always been there to help me accomplish my dreams or at least dream big,” said Drew. The opportunity to pursue her dream also would not be possible without her chain of command, who allowed her to attend camp. “I really appreciate the 16th’s support, especially the commander,” said Drew. “Everyone has been so supportive.” The CISM women’s basketball camp is a make-up event for last year’s All Army trial camp that was cancelled due to the government furlough.
tions with an even hand, especially in the eyes of Soldiers. “I think if you ask the Soldiers, they’ll say a few things about him, but the thing you will probably hear the most is that he is ‘firm but fair.’’’ Bargaineer enlisted in the Army in 1990. He is a recipient of the Ancient Order of Saint
Christopher, the Order of Samuel Sharp and a member of the Sgt. Audie Murphy Club. Potter also is a member of the Murphy club, a recipient of the AOSC and has served the Army 26 years. She is native of Lynchburg and is the wife of Raymond Potter. The 71st Transportation Battalion provides ad-
ministration, logistics, and leadership to support the Army Logistics University’s mission of training logistics leaders. It was first activated in 1936 as Headquarters and Headquartes Detachment, 2nd Battalion, 48th Quartermaster Regiment. It was transferred to Fort Lee from Fort Eustis in 2010.

SAFETY | ACCIDENT REPORTING
Detail incidents with ReportIt W. Joseph Sachen Fort Lee Safety Office
Timely accident reporting is an Army requirement with closely monitored submission deadlines. The collection of data permits trend analysis that is often key to the prevention of future accidents. An Army accident is the result of injury or illness to military personnel or property damage that is a result of Army operations. Army accidents are classified by measuring the cost of the accident, severity of the injury, or the amount of lost time or restricted duty days of each incident. Accident classifications can be found in Army Regulation 38510, The Army Safety Program.
There have been multiple avenues for accident reporting in the past, but the Army has moved to one method that has increased accuracy while also improving the timeliness. “ReportIt” uses an online based, Common Access Card login assisted, form-generation program for completing the Abbreviated Ground Accident Report or Abbreviated Aviation Accident Report. “ReportIt” assists the Army in meeting its mandate, as defined in AR 385-10, to capture all military, civilian employee and contractor incidents and report and record those incidents within a centralized repository. The accident reporting Fort Lee page can be accessed at
http://www.lee.army.mil/safety/ accident.reporting.aspx. On the accident reporting page, the AGAR preparation guide is available to assist in completing the accident report and provides a link for completing a civilian federal employee injury. To submit an Army accident report, login to the Fort Lee accident reporting page using CAC access and click on the “ReportIt” link. Login and create a report using the “FORMS MODE” when asked which version to use. The supervisory unit person who submits this report must have access to personal information about the injured person and details of the incident. A video tutorial on using the forms mode is available at https://reportit.safety. army.mil/InfoCenter/Information. aspx?t=50 At this point the user is ready to submit, select original submission process and enter the AKO user name of the individual with command approval author-
ity. This will normally be your unit collateral duty safety officer. The username is not the full AKO email, but the name in front of the @us.army.mil. Example: The safety office review authority will be William.Sachen if you belong to IMCOM, TRADOC or TACOM. Enter the name of the CDSO in the command approval line in this same fashion (firstname.lastname) and middle initial if listed in AKO. This is not the enterprise (new email) name and must be the AKO username.
With this name selected from search, the report is free of errors, you will be finished and it will be sent to the next level (which will be the command authority unless directed otherwise). If it is not clear how to submit an Army Accident Report at this point, send an email to william. sachen@us.army.mil. Training on the operation of the program is available if there are enough persons in need of assistance. For questions or help with reporting, call (804) 765-3161.

What is Medication Reconciliation? It’s is a process to prevent medication errors. One might ask, how is this handled at Kenner Army Health Clinic? Kenner has a process in place in which your health care provider reviews with patients the medications you have been prescribed. It also includes outside prescriptions, over the counter medications, vitamins and supplements an individual is currently taking along with your new medications.
The review is to make sure your new medications do not have unsafe interactions with your current medications. During the review, your health care provider may also decide which medication is best in maintaining your health. The purpose behind Medication Reconciliation Month is to help beneficiaries become more informed and educated on their role in the medication reconciliation process. It is important that both you and your healthcare provider are in complete understanding of all medications you are taking
and that you leave that appointment with a completed list. Furthermore, it is important to keep that list with you to show to other health care providers so a comparison and assessment for any newly prescribed medications can be completed. This is so important that The Joint Commission, a health care accreditation agency, added it as part of the National Patient Safety Goals in 2005. The reviews can help prevent errors with medications. The commission expects health care providers to have a review process in which medication reconcilia-
tion is assessed to reduce medication errors. Part of managing medication includes working with others during changes in care both within and outside of the health care organization, making sure patients are educated on the safe use of medication and communication with other providers. What is the patients’ role in medication reconciliation? Keep a record of all medications (include creams, outside prescriptions, ointments, patches, medication devices), over-the-counter medications (pain, cold, allergy, upset stomach medications), herbal (ginseng,
omega-3, glucosamine), and supplements (protein, fat burners, fiber, vitamin energy). Keep the medication list with you at all times to use during your doctor visits and trips to the pharmacy. Update the list as changes are made like discontinuing a precription or starting a new one. Make note of any specific directions for your medications such as take with or without food, how much or how often taking, and what time of day to take medications, etc. Read the label each time you take medication to ensure you are taking the right drug in the right way. When filling the
prescription or getting a refill, check the patients name on the label to make sure it is correct and let the pharmacist know if there is a change in the color, size, taste or shape of your medication. Kenner wants to ensure that your medication reconciliation process is completed to ensure safe care is provided to the patients the clinic serves. Medication cards are available at our pharmacy to assist you in this process. Questions about your medications can be answered by a pharmacist in our pharmacy department and for more in-depth questions and review we have a clinical pharmacist that can be seen by appointment. With your involvement in this process the health care team can improve the safe use of the medications you are taking.
