Hey Ed- Is BMV supposed to hit 100% scanned meds? Most likely this is a fantastic example of one that actually shouldn't be scanned for the reasons you described. From a "patient safety" view, a solid implemented point of care medication administration/documentation program should be the goal - but let's make them realistic and obtainable. Another reference on this would be the folks at www.PointofCareForum.com - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD. Clinical Consultant (713)480-6810 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.RPhInformatics.com _____
From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lanoue, Ed T Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2006 11:41 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Pyxis/BMV/Patient Own Med Controls Hi Everybody, I am trying to find an easier way to track a patient's controlled medications that are stored in Pyxis and coded by RX number and tracked by inventory. The nurse removes the drug from Pyxis like all other medications, but I'm wondering how to get the vial (which has the order specific barcode on it) to the patient bedside and then back into the Pyxis. I suppose we could have nurses attempt to remove it again and hit the Cancel button to "return" it. I hate that idea but that's what I'm coming up with in order to keep the inventory correct. Does anyone have a better solution to this problem?
