I am looking for your opinion:
We are a Meditech Magic 5.4 site. I feel I have identified a serious
problem with the location history in ABS. Meditech says it is not a problem
and has "determined that the system is functioning as designed." I would
like you to do the following in TEST Meditech and tell me whether you notice
a problem.
1. In ADM, register an Inpatient using routine "13. Admission".
2. Wait a minute. Check the patient's location history in ABS using routine
"View Patient Abstract - Consults, Svcs, SCU's and Locations". You should
see 1 location for this patient that matches what you just entered in ADM.
3. In ADM, transfer the patient to a totally DIFFERENT location (don't just
change rooms) using routine "24. Transfer".
4. Wait a minute. In ABS, check the patient's location history using
routine "Consults, Svcs, SCU's and Locations".
You should clearly see that the patient was in one location and then
transferred to another location.
5. In ADM, change the patient to an observation patient using routine "24.
Change In To Observation Patient".
6. Wait a minute. In ABS, check the patient's location history using
routine "Consults, Svcs, SCU's and Locations".
In ABS, did you just lose the original location entered in Step #1? If yes,
you are experiencing what is happening in our system and I would like to
know if you think this a problem? I should note that Meditech has added
DTSs to fix ABS location issues, but they did not resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Tom
