We have been live with BMV/eMAR for over a year now and your example has not caused any confusion, that has been reported to me. But his scenario does cause some confusion: A drug is ordered QAM to start tomorrow. The current time is past the defined QAM dose time, so even if you leave the Start Time as "now", the first dose to be schedule won't be until tomorrow am. So to avoid phone calls, or rejections, we try to enter the order as the doctor wrote it and change the Start Date to tomorrow and the Start Time to 0000.

Hi All, We have just implemented BMV house wide and have a question about order verification and the start time that displays in BMV. When we enter a Pharmacy order to start at 2100 at 1530, the time displayed in the left hand column of the BMV screen headed START/STOP is the system time the order was entered (1530). Our nurses are having issues because it leads them to believe that the order starts NOW, even though the next scheduled dose column in BMV shows 2100. When they do the acknowledgement of the order, the acknowledgement screen does not contain the next scheduled column so that they can see all the information they need to verify that order in one place. I think we are fighting a training issue, but our nursing administration wants us in Pharmacy to actually tab down during order entry and change the order time to start at 2100 so everything lines up for verification. This is not part of our routine and will add considerably to the burden of order entry; and more key strokes equal more chance for error. Before we make sweeping changes in our routine, how are other sites handling this? Thanks in advance, Sue Sue Downs, RPh St. Luke's Pharmacy 218-249-5431 (phone) 218-249-5609 (fax)
