Sharon,

 

In C/S, you can attach a query to the status board.  We have this exact
scenario you describe set up so that the response to the query "Pain
Reassessment Needed" (which is the last query on the assessment attached
to the pain med on eMAR) displays on the Status Board.  If a "Y"
displays, the user is reminded to document the Pain Reassessment
intervention.  We have the same query "Pain Reassessment Needed"
attached to the reassessment intervention.  The user would then mark the
query No, so that an "N" displays on the Status Board.  One caveat is
that this is only a visual reminder to document a reassessment.  It can
easily be ignored.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] time link from EMAR to Status Board?

 

Apologies up front - I'm the user, not the analyst, in this scenario.
Because I'm not sure how this is set up, I can't be too specific.

 

When I am using EMAR to pass meds, and I give an analgesic, the system
will pop up a query, asking me for the patient's pain level (0-10). I
must answer that query in order to complete my med administration
documentation process.

 

Given that (in my little pea brain) this pop up must be a query on a
CDS, and must be attached to an intervention, is it possible to make the
filing of this query/CDS/intervention somehow create a message on the
status board that would cue the nurse to complete another intervention
(the pain monitor) within one hour? And if that's not possible, have any
of you come up with a way to remind nurses to document a reassessment of
pain, following the administration of an analgesic?

 

I thought I asked this question last week, but don't remember seeing it
post. Sharon
