I'm not the analyst at my hospital, so I'd have to ask this question, but I've never seen an overdue dose anywhere except at the very top, so my guess would be that it is already set to sort the way you describe, Kevin. And my own experience as a user is that such positioning has indeed helped bring overdue doses to my own attention. That is a good practical tip. Thanks.

Hi Sharon-

How is your eMAR sorting?  If it set to sort by NEXT ADMIN as the first selection, that will float those to the top every time…

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] EMAR NPR report: overdue doses

 

If a med dose is missed, it continues to show up in the "next dose due" column of the EMAR, even if it is several days old, thus preventing the ACTUAL "next dose due" from displaying in that column. This is a potential cause of error, but staff don't always notice it, or if they notice it, take action to get it resolved (in our facility, only supervisory personnel can clear this from the EMAR).

 

Has anyone developed an NPR report that will list all accounts that have a past due med populating the "next dose due" field? Boy, if I had this sitting on my printer every morning when I walked in, it would sure make life easier.

 

Sharon
