For those sites who are live with eMAR and BMV: How are you handling PCA documentation? When you document a new PCA syringe, what do you put in the dose field of the eMAR? Our syringes are 30mg/30ml, but the dose may be 1mg q10 min, etc. When you are hanging a new syringe, what are using as your dose, the entire syringe, or the q10 minute dose.
Also, at our facility we are required to write on the MAR how much was used for each shift. I created a CDS where this can be documented, and attached it to the PCA meds, but what I don't know is how can the nurses document on this CDS without documenting another syringe given? If the PCA is documented as not given with the documentation done on the CDS then the dose is blue on the eMAR and red in PCI, which could be mistaken for a missed dose.
