This info was updated yesterday in our tasks also. At least they are listening once in a while! Cathy >>> "Karrie Ingram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/11/2006 4:05:11 PM >>> Here is what we are being told about both of these issues: The pop-up for undocumented meds is not the best idea -the new plan is to show below the current schedule a message (like 2 missed doses). Users can see it but aren't required to click anything extra, doesn't add to their workflow. The second issue will involve a parameter so that sites can say how long they want the last dose of the med to stay "active" after the stop date/time. Sounds like a win/win.

What do you think? Why doesn't Meditech make this a customer defined parameter? That way, those who like the box staying red can have it their way and those prefering a pop-up window can have it their's. > SECOND, the issue with the MAR not DCing a med until the last dose is > documented is also being addressed in 5.5sr4.

Is this a hard stop date or a soft stop date? Our orders are discontinued 1 minute after the last date is due. However, according to our policy, a dose is not late until 1 hour after it was due. There needs to be a parameter set by the user when this drops off - an hour later, 2 hours later, whatever. Also, shouldn't there be some kind of notification that there is still a dose that was not given. What if the patient was having a procedure and the dose was over an hour. This needs to be set by policy. ***** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ***** This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
