 Constant red.  It is a little troublesome for so many people to click
on something that really only one person can fix.  My enter key is about
wore out anyway.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] 5.5 problem list update

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?
Cathy
