We created an order called COUMDAILY that is ordered for any patient that is getting a new coumadin order daily along with the first one time Coumadin order. We put this in place with the paper MARS and continued it for the emar for the very reason you listed below. It stays on the emar as a reminder to get a new order daily.

When we were using the paper MAR it would remain there because it wasn't really discontinued. The nurse would realize she didn't have it and call the pharmacy looking for it and we would tell them they need a re-order. The nurses are running the Expired Med report and putting a note on the patient's chart for the doctor but sometimes this just doesn't work. I've tried the Renewal routine using the prompts in the Drug Type and Customer Defined parameters and I can't count the issues I found with that, unless I'm doing something incorrectly. I was wondering what other facilities are doing?
