Hello all, Here are my responses:
1. Yes, we implemented CPOE with a pilot group. Our pilot team consisted of 1 unit. Approximately 12 physicians and 12 nurses are LIVE with CPOE for this pilot. They began using it on 9/19/06. We have not rolled it out to any other units yet. 2. The only doctors who write written orders are the consulting physicians. The staff is aware of this, as are the consulting docs. Medical Records runs reports (1 standard, 1 custom) to figure out if any consulting doctors wrote orders for the discharged patient. Then they are located in the chart and closed appropriately. 3. Medication orders are copied from the interagency form. We will also be using the restorable orders feature in the very near future. All NF drugs require a request form to be completed. We have set up the NF request as a procedure in POM. The docs type in NF and are asked a series of questions such as, what is the drug that you need? Dosage? Why is this necessary? Etc. This order then prints in the pharmacy where they deem whether or not the drug is necessary or whether or not it can be replaced with a formulary item. 4. One big thing that we forgot about was all the physicians' orders for the nursing staff. We are still in the process of building these today. If you have any questions about any of the information I've included, please don't hesitate to contact me.

We are a C/S site, 5.5, SR2. We are planning to implement CPOE very soon and we are questioning our decision to implement with a pilot group of doctors vs everyone all at once. At the MUSE conference there was a site that presented and they implemented with everyone at once and it worked well - so we are having second thoughts. Here are my questions: 1. Did you implement with a few pilot doctors? or all doctors? 2. If you did pilot doctors how did you handle some orders being on-line and some written, like when a consulting doctor sees the patient 3. How did you handle the many medication orders - since the "continue from ambulatory" does not work at all for profile medications. It can take a very long time to enter 15-20 meds - some of which are non-formulary meds for us. 4. What are any lessons learned with your implementation plans? Any information will be greatly appreciated. I found out so much information at MUSE - but still have many more. We would also love to discuss your implementation if anyone is interested in a call. thanks, Cindy Grolla, RN Clinical Project Leader Phone: 507.646.1209 Pager: 507.645.1475 ====================================== All messages should be posted in plain text.
