I created a SIG of DAY OF DISCHARGE which pharmacy enters with a
schedule of SCH.
This prints in the Scheduled Meds section of the paper MAR and continues
to appear each day the patient is here.

For the eMAR we have a similar drug called "Discharge Reminder" that we
schedule with a SIG of QDAY so that the nurse is reminded daily of this
need.

We had this problem about giving at discharge and decided to
give our vaccines on the day they are written. If the patient has a
fever or has to wait, nursing calls us and tells us to schedule the dose
for the next day.
If you need a reminder, you might try this idea. We use it when
patients are on daily Coumadin dosing. Pharmacy has a medication called
"Coumadin Therapy" which we enter with a Sig of UD which contains no
times for administration, but does put it on the MAR.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] MED NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISCHARGE
Hi,
Me again.
Just wondering what others are doing to alert nursing of a med
to be administered at/before discharge. Meds like the flu vaccine are
ordered usually upon admission by the physician as "give before
discharge". If a patient has a fever and cannot receive it upon
admission (or when it prints on the MAR) and is in-house a week or so,
how does nursing remember to give the med? We do not have NUR module.
Meds are ordered thru pharmacy and dispensed out of pyxis (profile).
Any thoughts or work arounds.
Diane
