Similar to other healthcare practices, MedRec is transitioning from being a paper-based process to one that is performed electronically. This paper will provide a scoping review of the prevalent research topics from both contextual and human factors perspectives. Methods: PubMed and CINAHL were searched for all articles including the term &amp;ldquo;medication reconciliation&amp;rdquo;. The 139 articles that met inclusion criteria were reviewed for themes and findings. Results: Three primary themes surfaced through this analysis: a) The contextual factors of MedRec, b) information technology (IT) in MedRec, and c) obstacles and opportunities for improving MedRec. Discussion: MedRec is performed in a variety of settings. The transition to electronic MedRec (eMedRec) has the potential to mitigate errors associated with a paper-based system but also creates opportunities for new technology-induced errors to occur. Interoperability with other health information systems is ideal. Additionally, Process standardization and workflow are important considerations when transitioning to eMedRec. Conclusion: As the process of medication reconciliation transitions from a paper-based to an electronic task, it is imperative to minimize the opportunity for human error and maximize the effectiveness of the system as a whole. Further, it is important for research to continue to explore original strategies for IT to enhance medication reconciliation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/978-1-61499-293-6-166","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,21]],"date-time":"2025-02-21T08:47:32Z","timestamp":1740127652000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring the Contextual and Human Factors of Electronic Medication Reconciliation Research: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"family":"Monkman Helen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"family":"Borycki Elizabeth M.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"family":"Kushniruk Andre W.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"family":"Kuo Mu-Hsing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Context Sensitive Health Informatics: Human and Sociotechnical Approaches"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,21]],"date-time":"2025-02-21T09:21:11Z","timestamp":1740129671000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.medra.org\/servlet\/aliasResolver?alias=iospressISSNISBN&issn=0926-9630&volume=194&spage=166"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/978-1-61499-293-6-166","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
