I wanted to get input on a current problem that we have and if there is a better way to handle it. We have IV Therapy and IVIG patients that come in weekly, monthly, etc for 6weeks to years at a time for treatment. We have these accounts set-up as RCR SDS and they are auto-discharged at the end of each month. The Pharmacy Director has tasked me with seeing if there is a more efficient way to handle these patients as the auto-discharge causes all of the meds to be DC'd and no longer appear on the Profile. Then when the patient arrives for their next trip in the following month they are given a new account number in where the Pharmacist must enter all of the meds again. There are concerns that we are losing the mechanism to track doses ordered and sent for the patient. Also there has been a lot of frustration on the part of the patients and Nursing staff as many times there is a lag time while the Pharmacy verifies the order and reenters all of the applicable meds/orders on the new account number. I wanted to check to see if there is a more efficient way of handling this? If this type of issue has been identified before, how was it resolved? Is there anything within Pharmacy that we are not thinking of that could help us? Thanks for your assistance!
