======================================
Nursing has a Admission Assessment CDS that uses a Pregnancy Y/N query. We
created an evaluate at MED rule in pharmacy to give a pop-up warning during
order entry if the answer is Y and attached the rule to the pharmacy CDP . See
rule below where NURPREG is our pregnancy query:
;RULE TO NOTIFY THE PHARMACY VIA A POP UP THAT PATIENT IS PREGNANT,
"****PATIENT IS PREGNANT ****, MAKE SURE DRUG OK DURING PREGNANCY"^A,
IF{[q NURPREG]="Y" [f rx msg](A);[f rx ok]}};
Hope this helps,

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.
