The problem that was asked dealt with the fact that if users are restricted by location, after transferring a patient to another unit, they can no longer access that patient to complete any documentation not yet completed. The question that I was posing was that for sites who have enabled their users to access the patient's record after transfer, whether by using Temporary Location or whether using the new 5.5 parameter, are they not having a problem if a different CDS is assigned to the intervention for the new location? Have they found a workaround or have they simply avoided the problem like we did by not assigning alternate CDS's for interventions based on location?

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi Claudia, I found this "New Parameter" interesting! When we built NUR, we didn't define different CDS's for different locations because it would create the problem that, for example, once a patient were transferred from the Medical Unit to ICU, the "Physical Assessment" intervention would pull the ICU Assessment instead of the one that the Medical Unit uses. So if the Medical Unit RN needed to complete documentation after the patient were transferred, she would be unable to access the appropriate CDS. Is this still an issue if using the new parameter? Have you found a way around this... or have you done like we did and simply built separate interventions if different CDS's are used?

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi Mark, We also made the same change. We use the temporary location function in OE to give temporary access to the prior unit. It is available on the admin data screen or a separate routine that can be added to menus. The prior unit calls ICU and requests they temp locate to their floor. When they are done with their documentation, the requestor is responsible for removing the temp location. In 5.5 there is a new parameter Access Prev Pt Location ___ Hrs after Xfer that addresses this issue.

HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== We are a Magic 5.4 SR3 site. We recently changed our MIS user dictionary page 3 for most inpatient nursing staff to restrict by location of the machine. This has also presented a problem for transfers to the ICU following a code or change in condition. I have been tasked with finding out if there is any workaround for documentation after a patient has transferred to another location. Currently, the nurse from the prior unit has to go to ICU to document on the patient once they have transferred over to ICU. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. We have no intentions of changing the MIS dictionary setup back to not restricting by location. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had to deal with this issue and if you have anything in place that might help. Thanks. Mark H.
