We have been able to move account information in ADM using the last field under the Cancel option. Unfortunately this only works for those accounts that are the same. For example, ED to ED. If there are two ED visits and one is admitted, then we are stuck again with no real option for merging. And, interestingly, if the parameters are set to stop people from canceling with outstanding issues, then it doesn't even look at nursing documentation at all, and there is no warning that you are about to delete the entire chart if there is nothing in BAR, LAB, RAD, PHA or OE.

I would also be interested in how others handle this. Since we are moving towards PCM, I would be interested in how people handle the wrong accounts in that situation as well. NUR documentation can be moved. Works best if the account you are moving to doesn't have any documentation. But it is an all or none. Can't select what you want moved. Once this came available, it made life easier. Then we went up with the EMAR. There is no way to move the documentation. We usually end up leaving the account they want cancelled, just change it to a CLI and have a location of XLDOC. They know not to look for charges and it is excluded from stats. But this isn't an ideal solution when it comes for Release of Info as we go away from the printed chart. By the way, the MAR can be set up (in Magic anyway) that a person can document for another user. While we don't let others document in nursing, we do in the EMAR so that medications given during a downtime can be documented after the system is back up. We didn't want to leave the outstanding doses hanging out there. If the downtime is over the end of a shift, they would change the user, time, and date as needed. Then use the reason code for DOWNTIME/PAPER. That indicates that they are documenting for someone else and using the paper documentation to enter the info. Then the paper documentation is kept and scanned into PCI. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Freeman, Gale Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 11:25 AM To: Karen Peavler; [email protected] Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Selecting Wrong Accounts All messages should be posted in plain text.

We just had the same thing Happen today where an account from July 7th needs to be canceled and everything moved To another account. The lab has a function that will do that, I don't understand why the rest of the modules In MEDITECH don't as well . -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karen Peavler Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 11:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Selecting Wrong Accounts All messages should be posted in plain text. HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi everyone, I am really interested in what processes are you following when PCS or eMAR is documented on the wrong account. We are stressing the importance of making sure the right account is selected at registration because when information is documented on the wrong account the only way is to have staff to manually re-enter this information. In PCS interventions you can at least specify that you are documenting for someone else and this in itself is very timely--do you transpose the documentation exactly as the other person did with incorrect spellings, etc? Do you have the staff that did the original documentation come in and document on the correct record? Are you documenting on a special intervention this was on the wrong account??? And what are you doing with the MAR---is pharmacy re-entering the meds on the correct account? How does Pharmacy document it was entered on the wrong account?? And nursing with the MAR, again is one person doing all the documentation or the original staff? Since you cannot specify the documentation was from someone else in the MAR how are you dealing with this??? I certainly would love responses!!! _______________________________________________ meditech-l mailing list [email protected] http://mtusers.com/mailman/listinfo/meditech-l _______________________________________________ meditech-l mailing list [email protected] http://mtusers.com/mailman/listinfo/meditech-l _______________________________________________ meditech-l mailing list [email protected] http://mtusers.com/mailman/listinfo/meditech-l
