I hear that public floggings work well... :\ Aside from that, you can reduce the errors by setting the MIS Users to be restricted by location. (Pt access Restricted by location? = Y). People will only be able to enter orders for patients registered to the unit (location) there device is defined to be on. There is, however, a lot of setup and upkeep to this option. Is it Friday yet... Hope it helps...

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== We have a recurring problem with staff (physicians, nurses, ward clerks, etc.) placing orders on the wrong inpatients. Sometimes this is due to patients having the same or similar names. Although staff are encouraged to identify patients by account number they tend to identify patients by name. This is not a frequently occurring problem but one wrong order is too many. Has your facility experienced this type of problem and have you implemented any creative solutions?
