We are using the hold (DA/RA) routines and they have been working for us so far. One advantage this allows us is that meds on hold (e.g. during surgery, just indefinitely on hold) are still AC in Meditech and when we print various custom reports for physicians, med reconciliation reports, etc, these continue to display so that clinical staff don't forget that these orders are out there and need to be reconsidered at some point. The only kicker to this is you need to edit all your NPR reports so that there is an indication that these are 'on hold'. We use the status flag for this purpose. We think this is safer for patient care rather than discontinuing held orders (as we did before BMV) where physicians may 'forget' about orders that have been on hold and assume they are getting therapy they are not.

Currently our pharmacy discontinues that order and the Physician has to rewrite the order when they want it to restart.
