Currently we are Meditech Magic 4.9 SR7 How are sites identifying patients that are pregnant but are admitted for non-pregnancy related issues? In particular, how is Pharmacy notified so that medications can be screened for contraindications in pregnancy? Are sites using admission diagnoses? Are sites using PHA Disease fields? For sites that are using some mechanism to identify these patients, how are you handling making sure that the information is removed from the patient record when no longer appropriate? For example, PHA Disease works best for screening meds a order entry, but it is demo recall and will be retained for future visits, even if no longer appropriate. Currently, we are free-texting this info into a customer defined field on the Administrative Care Data screen, along with other conditions. This makes it difficult to construct PHA order rules, or utilize other means to notify the pharmacist when entering orders that the patient is pregnant. R. Paula Archer R. Paula Archer, R.Ph.
