Hey Valerie- I assume you had the parameter changed in the TBP's to test the Renewal functionality? Are you using a Soft Stop as well (kind of the same as the Renewal)? There's also the Med Renewal Notice List Report, and a selection of "custom" reports floating around - Magic or CS?
Also, how long do DC'd meds stay on the eMAR sort? Typically, 12 hours is a good period for those to hang around... Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

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?
