We are in the process of implementing Meditech BMV and have a
question about zero dosing. Presently, we
are using McKesson’s Bedside Medication Verification product AdminRX. When
pharmacy enters a zero dosed medication, for example Lortab 1-2 tablets, the McKesson
product recognizes 1-2 tablets and will give an overdose warning when an administration
of 3 tablets is attempted. It will not give a warning if the nurse attempts to administer
either 1or 2 tablets. It is our understanding that the Meditech BMV product does
not recognize the dose limitations entered for 0 dose orders. How are other facilities handling this? Our Meditech specialist is recommending we
include the dose range in the comment field.
We want to streamline the workflow for our pharmacists and also ensure
nurses receive the proper warning messages for overdose/underdose. Any help you can give us would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Sue Downs, RPh St. Luke's Pharmacy 218-249-5431 (phone) 218-249-5609 (fax)
