We require PRN reasons and have had it in live since before our 5.5 SR2 upgrade. Entering PRN reasons is a 2 step process for POM users in SR2 (I think they are fixing for SR4) and our users do it but really hate it since we upgraded. We have since added all standard 1:1 matched PRN reasons to the drug strings (ie Zofran prn is always nausea) so users don't need to get stopped and enter the prn reason.
You can really only add prn reason to the strings where it is a 1:1 match because the prn reason only shows to the user once they have selected the string. (It shows in the green area that restates the order). If you have two strings with different PRN reasons they look identical to the user. You might want to try in test and see what it seems like to your users. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tara Mcnamara Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 1:41 PM To: Meditech L Subject: [MEDITECH-L] POM PRN Reasons Hi All, I am being told that a PRN reason is required for all PRN meds. 1. If you are live with POM, are you making your physicians put in PRN reasons? 2. Can you share your PRN reason dictionary with me?
