My question for the list:
Has anyone successfully attached a nursing intervention to an order so that when the order was completed the associated intervention was automatically filed and became part of the Meditech patient documentation? If so, I would like to chat with you!
Here's the story:
In preparation for our next upgrade to Magic 5.6 we are looking at our existing discharge processes and revising them to accommodate the new Meditech Bed Board enhancement which is part of the upgrade.
The new Meditech Bed Board screen is very much like the NUR Status Board screen. A grid displaying rooms and patient information and buttons on the edge of the screen to access ADT functions. One of the columns in the grid is labeled "Pending Discharge" and if the patient has a pending discharge a Y (yes) flag appears in the cell / intersection of this column and the row adjacent to the patient's displayed name.
Currently we process an OE order when the physician writes a discharge order and when we move to CPOE the physician will enter this order. Unfortunately I checked with Meditech to find out if an order could trigger the pending discharge flag on the Bed Board (makes sense, right?) and the answer came back as a big NO. Only a nursing intervention can trigger this flag according to the resolution of Meditiech Issue: OE #4806280 filed on May 11, 2006, Description: Want an order to flag Pending status on Bed Board in ADT.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
