Hi Peggy (and members of the L-list),
Thank you for your email, and thank you for joining MeditechTalk.com!
I have been a Meditech user/consultant for many years, and have always found it extremely useful to communicate with other users to find the best solutions for issues. I value open and honest feedback, and am always happy to find out if there is a better way to approach a problem.
That being said, I have been an "L" user for several years (many different email addresses used). Over time, I have mulled over the idea of building a Meditech online community. On April 6, I, and several colleagues were happy to launch this new community onto the internet.
I am extremely committed to this effort, as I do not want to see the return of THOUSANDS of emails to my inbox. I spent several months planning, designing, and building the
website, and have no intention of letting the weeds grow now!
One of the most important concepts on this website is the ability to quickly filter through the forum categories, and select a topic that closely resembles your issue. We have excellent search engines available on the site, ready to go to work for you. We have also tried to provide an excellent starter set of categories for you to begin posting your issues. If there is a sub-category that you wish to add to the forums, we would be delighted to do that for you as well.
Everyday I have other new ideas to implement on the website which come to me from members, or the bad pizza that kept my brain working when I should be asleep. :)
Part of the goal was also to create a place where "groups" would be able to "meet" and discuss problems. As you eluded below to "group hosting", this site hosts these groups by providing
a diverse collection of chat rooms that you can meet in. Currently, there are several public chat rooms available for your use. In the near future, I will be designing private chat rooms that can be setup for standing group meetings. Of course, this will ALWAYS be free for the users!
We also have now opened up the Download section of the website to provide useful file sharing. You can also share weblinks that you find useful as well.
You will see many more useful tools coming to this website as we continue to grow! Come join us at http://www.meditechtalk.com !
Take care!

Kevin,
We've signed up on the new site and are very hopeful for it, but I don't see on the site anything about the group hosting. I did go to your website and assume you are Kevin Boldt, RN, BSc.
What kind of commitment are you making to this site - I think a brief intro to the Meditech - L would be appreciated by all.
Thanks,

Hi Marianne,
We have formed a new Meditech online user community that went live on April 6, at http://www.meditechtalk.com to take care of some of the very needs you discussed in your request.
We are building forums for every module, and also have free chat rooms, articles, etc. For instance, if you would like to meet as a user group, we could create a web chat room on our site to accomodate your needs. It will be available 24/7, and will be free for all of your users.
Come visit us! http://www.meditechtalk.com
Kevin

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] POM, PCS, MPM,EDM Med Reconciliation using MT functionality
Hi, I'm wondering if there are any sites out there that would like for form an offiline working group for a short time that would allow us to get together on conference calls and hash out med reconciliation using Meditech functionality where possible. It seems almost possible to do this but a bit ackward since MT did not design with that in mind. We could give our feedback collectively to MT.
We are a POM site going up with MPM and PCS in the summer. We plan to install EDM next year.
I see the Discharge/AOM/Profile meds potential but it's just a bit ackward (e.g. on admission, the users in POM or nurses entering home meds should click Discharge and enter/edit any home meds, make them active scripts (only active scripts, not profile meds, seem be available to convert to IP meds) but don't have them print or go anywhere, go back to POM and click continue from AMB, convert any meds from the home meds list that they are going to be on in the hospital, add any new meds)
If there is anyone out there who followed that stream and knows a better way to do this or wants to figure it out togther, I'd love to get together to hash it out. I would set up the calls etc.
