HTML will be converted to attachments. The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Question to those hospital which are live with BMV, and DO NOT have 24 hour pharmacy coverage. Do your nurses do chart checks and 24 hour chart checks? Who enters your medication orders during off pharmacy hours? Are all meds entered, or only those which will need to be given during the off hours? If only a select group of meds are entered, how are your nurses handling 24 hour and chart checks of the meds not entered onto the MAR? This process is posing a big problem for us, as no one seems to have a good solution how to handle this. Nursing does not want to check charts and sign off on them if not all the meds are on the EMAR. And worse, once they check and verify the meds which they placed on the EMAR, and pharmacy comes in and verifies those orders, they have to re-acknowledge those meds again. Double work for already overworked and frustrated nurses. 24 hour checks are even worse as this is the last check of orders, and not all meds orders will be available. Thanks in advance for all your help Dana Pfingstler, RN Nursing Analyst Elk Regional Health Center St Marys, PA 15857 814 788-8682 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- The information contained in this e-mail is private and confidential and is intended only for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
