Sounds good, but sometimes it is appropriate to change the dose, say the doctor orders 7.5mg Vicodin, your hospital only carries 5mg Vicodin, so the nurse scans pill 1, it says 5 mgs, she scans pill 2 it say 10 mgs and flashes a error msgs that this does not match the dose. She is suppose to give 1.5 tabs or pills, we had to erase the 10mg we scanned and enter 7.5mg to proceed.
This is just an example, I am sure there will be other situations where the caregiver may need to adjust the dose, but maybe you will handle this by simply messaging PHA to edit the order before you give it?

My thought is to not let the eMAR user "change the dose" (via parameter setting)...that should then limit these issues to just zero dose entries. Thoughts? Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

What I'm trying to do is catch and avoid gross charge errors from passing to B/AR that are result of gross documentation errors on the eMAR in an Admin Billing environment. I attempted a TXN rule that evaluates txn.items and if it exceeds a specific amount, set the charge type to one I named "Error". I then created a Charge Formula to attach to this Charge Type that I had hoped would override the charge and send a $0.00 transaction to B/AR. My first attempt failed. Don't know if this is even possible or if I coded my rule wrong or set up my Chg Formula wrong. Any ideas will be appreciated!
