Hi all! We have been working with Meditech on some of the 5.5 PCS/eMAR and POM issues that we have been having. It looks like the issues we have had the most problem with are being addressed for 5.5sr4. I need some opinions (and maybe help convincing Meditech) about one of the issues. FIRST, I had put on the list before that we had an issue with the Next Schedule column on the MAR not updating to the next true dose, but rather always keeping the earliest missed dose on the screen. In our version, they have made the change to reflect the updated schedule on the MAR, and leave the box highlighted in red if there are missed doses that have not been documented. In the future release, I am being told that development is addressing the change, but that they will no longer be leaving the box red. Instead, the user will get a pop-up window reminder that there is a missed dose on the MAR. I am having two problems with the proposed solution by development: 1. One more window the user will click past and do nothing about. 2. The window will pop-up to any user in the account in PCS - so staff not responsible to document that dose will continually be clicking it when they go into the account (3 or 4 times a shift). My nursing staff likes the box staying in red and I have asked Meditech to reevaluate this with development. What do you think? SECOND, the issue with the MAR not DCing a med until the last dose is documented is also being addressed in 5.5sr4. I am being told that this will be fixed and that the med will DC at the proper stop time, regardless of undocumented doses. FINALLY! That makes sense. THIRD, with 5.5sr2, recalling values to the MAR was not working from PCS. I am told ythat 5.5sr4 will allow recall values to work for any documented query, regardless of the last place it was documented. That's my update of our go-live stopper issues. Please let me know your opinion on the missed documentation on the MAR for the next schedule box - pop-up or constant red?
