Hi, Brenda. We went to BMV training a month ago and the scan of one ingredient to verify the compound you mention below is in MAGIC 5.6. We stumbled because that means that we will not be able to vend our "snap-together" piggybacks from Pyxis and must do all from PHA until 5.6. They suggested that PHA enter 2 orders until then. A huge change. We are exploring just waiting until our 5.6 upgrade next year to implement BMV since there are so many changes in eMAR and such in that version. Jeff Thompson, R.Ph.

You definitely want to use Scan Med, in order to gain the benefits of BMV ... right drug, right dose, right time, right patient etc. We plan to train users that Full Doc is ONLY for after the fact documenting due to down times. Even emergencies, we are going to train users that that is when scanning meds is even MORE important, since that is when mistakes are even more likely to happen. I plan to put Full Document LAST on their verb strip, so it is not right there staring them in the face!! We are to go LIVE w/ BMV in October, and in my testing, I've come up with several problems that ended up being resolved w/ DTS's (I had to find the problems tho, before Meditech found the DTS!) We are Magic 5.4. PHA DTS 7088 --- allows user to change unit type. Particularly useful for things like creams and ointments. In Full Doc you could change the default 1 Gram to 1 Application, but could not do so in Scan Med. With this DTS, you can also do it in Scan Med. PHA DTS 6924 and 7842 --- allows system to recognize LINKed orders w/ Scan Med as well as Full Doc. PHA DTSs 6461 and 6702 corrected problems I discovered with inconsistent Medication Administration reports and MAR exception reports. PHA DTS 7030 corrected the problem of the eMAR verb strip being case sensitive. PHA DTS 6382, 7109, 6301, 7734, 7570 corrected other reporting problems, particularly the problem of Pharmacy reports printing out "times" for PRN meds (ie ... if a prn drug was ordered q1 hr, reports printed out with times due, such as: 0100 0200 0300 ... ... 2300 2400 Two problems Meditech has yet to resolve are: Having the system recognize split med orders. If you have an order, for example for coumadin 8mg, and pharmacy supplies it as a 5mg tab and a 3mg tab, I want the system to recognize the 3mg tab when I scan it as part of this split order. (It doesn't ... it says "3mg coumadin not on patient's MAR ... do you wish to add it". Meditech says to use compound verification to verify the right components are present, and then scan the RX#. I find this unacceptable, and have asked them to correct this (apparently this functionality is present in 5.5). The other problem they haven't been able to correct as of yet is when a nurse scans a med not on the eMAR (say in an emergency), gives permission to enter that drug (via Enter Med routine), the system properly enters the drug and records it as given, but it never shows up on the eMAR until the pharmacist completes and verifies the order. Our eMAR settings are set to allow viewing of all drug orders. If any one has any input on these two problems, I'd love to hear it!! Please feel free to call or email w/ any questions.
