Hi Lea, We, too, had a similar problem with Q1H directions. The problem wound up being that we had a direction built in the MIS Directions dictionary for Q1H for NUR module but we had no times assigned. As a result, the system treated this as a one time occurance. If you want the intervention due every 15 minutes based on the actual time the directions were started, remove the Q15M from the directions dictionary. If you want Q15M to be timed based on the top of the hour, then you must define the Q15M directions with ALL 96 times that it should come due! For our problem, we removed Q1H from the dictionary but built Q1H-OTH defined as 0000,0100,0200, etc... This way, we can use either/or.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== All, I've been trying to create a pilot program for implementing our Status Board and Flowsheet functions in Meditech. We demo'd what we have to some of the staff the other day, but Labor and Delivery had a question I could not answer. The Status Board reminders for scheduled interventions are WONDERFUL and would be of great help to many areas in our hospital, but there seems to be some issues with timing. I'm hoping it is just something I am missing in the dictionary for directions and/or the status board/flowsheet dictionaries themselves. I'd like to have these features available to all our units eventually. I have tested these features with interventions as close as Q2H, and they seem to work fine. The reminder notices show in the Status Board and I can click on the '+' on the flowsheet to see more detailed info for interventions documented in shorter time periods than what the columns define. The question L&D has is that many of their interventions are Q15M (Every 15 minutes). When I try to assign this in the directions, I get the initial reminder notice, but none of the other upcoming interventions display...even after documenting one, I won't get a reminder for the next one. I know I can assign status board/flowsheet by location, so I just need to know what settings to change to have these reminders pop up for them at Q15M if possible. If anyone out there has successfully implemented the Status Board and Flowsheet, I'd love to get input from you! Our nursing staff really believes this is the one thing we've been missing to tie it all together and I'd like to have this up and running as soon as possible for them. Thanks in advance!
