We have a question from our pharmacy director listed below and I was wondering if any of you have something set up for this. We do own, but not currently use RXM and POM (we use some of this) and also wonder if this would do what she is requesting below. Could we set up something in Meditech that would perform weight based dosing calculations if the RN inputs certain information? I'm working on a weight based heparin dosing protocol. I would like Meditech to calculate ideal body weight (there's a formula) and determine if the patient's actual body weight exceeds ideal by more than 25% If yes, calculate a heparin dosing weight and then calculate the dose based on that adjusted weight (units/kg) If no, use actual body weight and calculate the dose based on actual body weight. What do you think? This web site give an example of what I'd like it to do. www.medcalc.com/heparin.html Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
