Hi Carole,

If you are not documenting in eMAR - you  want to consider how you are 
setting the default for overdue meds. 

I would recommend setting the overdue med default time frame  to  0 hours 
and then set a default of <x> number of hours for future meds. This way  - 
the users will then only see medications that are due in the future.  The 
flag is displaying accurate information.  (Whereas if you had it 
displaying for overdue meds - the med may not really be overdue but the 
system does know that)

If flags are displaying  for meds that had already been administered - my 
concern is that the end user would become complacent and  tend to ignore 
them.

The users can change the time frame on the fly if they do want to see for 
example all the meds that were due in the past <x> number of hours. 

I have not seen any issues with slower loading times after adding the med 
alerts.

Regards,
Sue

Hello,
   We are just getting started with building a Status Board in TEST in 
preparation for implementing this feature on our Nursing Units.  Today, 
Meditech set our PHA parameter ?Use Nursing Status Board? to ?Y??.in order 
to allow the link between NUR and PHA for medication data.  I added a 
column for ?Next Medication Due? to this TEST SB.  We are NOT live with 
eMAR as yet.   The ?Next Med Due? data does pull onto the Status Board, 
but we now have a very slow loading & refresh time for the SB.  Also, I am 
wondering if this data will load accurately w/o the use of eMAR??  The 
system would never receive any info re: med administration.   I am looking 
for a little education as to the functionality of SB with PHA when eMAR is 
not active?   Also, if any of you have experienced slow loading/refresh 
times with SB?can you offer any insight as to how to correct this?  Any 
information will be appreciated.  Thanks!
