What we are doing is keeping a second Meditech session open to the #16
Process Patient Activity routine just for the purpose of locating these
activities.  The pharmacists toggle over to that session ever 30 minutes
to refresh their view to find their activities.  Since this takes 30-60
seconds plus, the usually toggle back over to the primary session and
continue to enter orders until the routine has refreshed.
 
This appears to be working for us.  However it would obviously be much
better to have a Meditech process that would just flag the appropriate
pharmacist (perhaps an indicator on their menu like MOX new message),
but I'm not sure they're even working to improve this process.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Hold Acknowledgement Notification in PHA
 
I know Magic's shortcomings regarding efficient communication of  eMAR
Hold Acknowledgements to pharmacy has been discussed often here, but
does anyone have something new to offer?  We are being told to schedule
a report (what report?) to print every so often, but I am skeptical
about this. Can anyone who successfully uses this process give me some
specifics that I can take to I.S.? We certainly want to utilize this
functionality and decrease telephone calls and forms, but our
pharmacists are constantly super busy with a backlog of orders and tend
not to deal with reports until caught up (i.e. never). We are very label
driven though. Has anyone come up with a way to get the Hold
Acknowledgement to print on a thermal label? Thanks for any
contributions.
