[MEDITECH-L] Acknowledge Meds in the ER

[William Baldwin]

Magic 5.4 Site     For sites using the EMAR, do you require your ER nurses to acknowledge meds in the system before they document that they have given the meds?  Meditech’s parameters can be modified by location so that the nurses either have to acknowledge the meds first, get a warning, or nothing at all.  We are thinking about changing this to where our ER nurses do not have to acknowledge the meds first, but we have a difference of opinions on this within our facility.  We would like to hear what other sites are doing and why.  Thanks.   William Baldwin IT Director Ashe Memorial Hospital                               IMPORTANT NOTICE!   The information contained in this e-mail message is CONFIDENTIAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW, and intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above.   If the reader or recipient of this message is not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this confidential information is prohibited by federal law.  If you have received this communication in error, immediately notify the person listed above and return this message and all information that accompanies it to Ashe Memorial Hospital, Inc.
