Good news! After some digging I discovered the Auto DC Stock Order field in the Dispensing Machine Dictionary in PHA.  We had this set to Y for ER and PACU (among a few others). Once we changed this to N, a time was no longer assigned to the overrides, so they stopped appearing on the Status Board and Worklist (as overdue), and they DID show on the eMAR (in a DC'd status)(We have our #Hrs Display DC Orders Active set to 0). This was exactly what we wanted. The nurses wanted to be able to see what meds were pulled out on ER and PACU patients (they say the paper ER record isn't always complete), so we didn't want to totally exclude these from the eMAR.     Lori Sims, RN Nursing Systems Analyst Lake Regional Health System Osage Beach, MO 573.348.8174 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: Sims, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 10:53 AM To: 'Meditech-L (meditech-l@mtusers.com)' Subject: [MEDITECH-L] eMAR   All messages should be posted in plain text.

Hi L'ers, We currently have 5 out of 7 units live with BMV/eMAR. We are having an issue with the eMAR in that Pyxis overrides from ER and PACU appear as overdue on the Status Board and the Worklist, and nurses on the units have to document these as Not Given to get them out of the way. This is very time consuming. We don't want to exclude these as there may be overrides on the unit that require documenting. Also, if we change the Overdue Medications to "0" in the Status Board dictionary to filter out the overrides, this will also exclude missed documentions. We have also toyed with the idea of removing the Med column from the Status Board and the Worklist button from the Integrated Desktop, but then users would have to enter Process Medications to see when the next meds are due. How are other hospitals handling this?     Lori Sims, RN Nursing Systems Analyst Lake Regional Health System Osage Beach, MO 573.348.8174 [EMAIL PROTECTED]      -- Important Note about Email Communications -- Lake Regional sends email securely.
