I've had problems with this myself. We've changed a
drugs units from grams to milligrams or from ml to mg/ml and it causes problems
every time. Eventually, the problem resolves itself, but if you have any active
orders, it does cause real problems. Sorry, but I don't know an easy
answer

Changing Strengths

======================================
Hi All,
"When changing the strength of a medication in
Meditech Live (this is a big no-no), the dose unit is applied to all
medication orders past and present. What was done to fix this
problem? The historical data has to be preserved, thus Meditech
suggested changing the strength back to the original and creating a new med
entry.
For example, Albuterol neb was originally 1 BOT in the
strength field. I updated this to reflect 2.5 mg/3 ml. When
entering medication order, the dose fields now reads 2.5 mg. Looking at
old orders, I noticed that the dose fields reads 1 mg, which is sub
therapeutic and the 1 was from the 1 BOT prior to the strength field
change.
Any solutions will be welcomed.
Thanks,
Ann
