Hi Cindy-
I recall seeing some information regarding similar eMAR "load time" issues
on www.MeditechTalk.com - a DTS was mentioned as well.  You might take a
look and see if it hits home for you.

Best of luck - Kevin.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] 5.5 Update Feedback Needed!

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

Hello all,

We are a C/S site with 5.4 SR2 and we were due to update to 5.5 SR2 on 4/13
(this Thursday).  On 4/6 we received a request for a conference call from
Meditech and they informed us that they were calling sites soon to implement
5.5 to inform them of issues with POM/PCS.  

The issues they informed us of:
1. Issues with load time when entering the "ordering provider" in POM and
possibly other "loading" issues in POM.  Fixes for these issues are in the
testing phase at a Beta site.

2. Issues with load time when launching the eMAR - they are working on a fix
for this.

3. Issues with load time with the status board that will NOT be fixed
because it is the design of the system to load all the patient data up front
and once in the status board the user will have access to much more patient
data


What Meditech denied in our conference call is that there are "global"
issues with response time when in filing PCS and POM.  I have heard from
other sites LIVE with 5.5 that there are response issues with filing
(especially in PCS).  We opened a task with Meditech back in March to
address concerns that I had reports of from other sites and they deny there
are problems with filing.

We decided to delay our go-live because we are LIVE with POM/PCS and the
eMAR and did not want to take any chances.  I would like feedback from other
sites that are LIVE with 5.5:
1. Do you have response time issues when filing assessments in PCS?
2. Do you have response time issues when filing orders in POM?
3. Is Meditech working on these issues? or is it network/hardware issues?


I would appreciate any feedback - from sites with problems and from sites
that are LIVE with 5.5, SR2, use PCS/POM/eMAR and do NOT have response
issues.



Thanks for any information,
