Thanks, Kevin I wasn't aware that you needed BMV and EMAR both. We are implementing both at the same time, so I forgot where 1 stopped and the other picked up. Allergy checks are unfortunately not done when the enter med function is used, from what I can see. Our plans are for nursing to enter those meds needed during pharmacy off hours. Sleepers, Pain meds, antibiotics, stat meds etc. Any routine meds will be entered by PHA in the morning. As of right now, our thoughts are RN's will have access to enter meds, and it will NOT be used during regular hours, except in cases of extreme emergency. Hopefully all will flow well, but it's hard to tell until you actually have everything set up and running.

An <F9> lookup into the PHA Drug Dictionary at the MED fields is only available with BMV in place, not just eMAR. 2. The "Merge One Time Orders" functionality and the impact on debit/credit from the automated dispensing cabinets (Pyxis, etc.) 3. Allergy/Duplicate checks - on or off 4. Can Nursing use this during "regular hours" 5. All of Nursing, or who will have "access" to ENTER MED Best of luck - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.
