Introduction

My name is Chandra. I am a nephrologist in Calgary. I am co-lead of our program's QI committee and medication safety committee and I am the physician lead for medication reconciliation at my hospital. Individuals with advanced kidney disease are at very high risk for medication related problems due to multimorbidity, complicated medication regimens, unique dosing of drugs, the nephrotoxicity of many drugs, multiple care providers and multiple transitions. I have been working with my team to try to improve systems to decrease medication related problems for and their consequences in a resource constrained environment.
