Just to clarify the terms... Cosignature required a second user to input BOTH their mnemonic and PIN, where a CONFIRMATION asks the current user to input another user's mnemonic ONLY. This is a policy and trust issue. There are ways to track who has used your mnemonic. Prior to eMAR, we had a policy to co-sign for insulin and chemo. We also cosign for pediatric patients. Nursing leadership was asked if they wanted to keep the policy the same, use a confirmation mnemonic only, or eliminate this all together. They opted to continue the cosignature as before. We are still working on a process for pediatrics. A CDS that checks the pt age prior to med administration. We also use the cosig on entering the eMAR only, not for each transaction in the eMAR.

We can't esign our documentation and it is thought that being the one signed in is sufficient so we felt that it should be sufficient for Medications as well. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harris, Debbie Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 10:40 AM To: Sandie Davis; [email protected] Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Questions Re: the set up of eMAR's All messages should be posted in plain text.

We opted not to go with pin numbers because we thought the password layer was enough. Deborah W.

When the nurse tries to enter the patient's MAR either via the Status Board or Process medications, it asks for the password. That is the esignature - that's it, no further thing to do. If a medication is administered, the documentation is signed, if not, no signature, maybe an audit trail or something though. Rae Frazer, RN Clinical Applications Specialist Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (802) 748-7502 Hello Brainiacs, Need to see if you can't give me a little of your knowledge. We are magic 5.5 and are just setting up eMARS in TEST. I pose two questions: 1. Electronic signature VS No Electronic Sig 2. If Electronic signature is set then what are the pros and cons to flagging for the Sig. Entering a patients eMAR VS Upon filing the documentation Any advise you all have would be great. I appear to be flying in the dark on this one. Thanks for burning some cells for me. ~S Sandie Davis Meditech User Support Analyst (970) 256-6328 Community Hospital _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ meditech-l mailing list [email protected] http://mtusers.com/mailman/listinfo/meditech-l
