======================================

We just got OE DTS 10280 that does the following with doses edited in
POM:

The system will now follow these guidelines when the dose is edited via
POM:  
 
- From a zero dose to non-zero dose: all pre-existing dose instructions
will be 
removed  
- From a zero dose to a zero dose: all pre-existing dose instructions
will be 
removed  
- From a non-zero dose to a zero dose: all pre-existing dose
instructions will 
be removed  
- From a non-zero dose to a non-zero dose: all pre-existing dose
instructions 
will remain  
- From a zero dose to a zero dose with taper schedule (1st taper dose is
zero 
dose): all pre-existing dose instructions will remain  
- From a zero dose to a non-zero dose with taper schedule (1st taper
dose is 
non-zero dose): all pre-existing dose instructions will be removed

Our physicians do not understand zero dose orders and we are having a
hard time with this.  They do not want to leave the zero in the field.
In the past, it was okay because the dose instructions were still there.
Now they are removed if they change the zero.  Has anyone else had a
problem with this, and if so, how did you handle it?

Thanks.
