We asked Meditech for a custom quote several years ago and were going to pursue the custom with them, but ended up instead having Iatrics (lower bid) build us a custom preference card that includes the full description of both primary and secondary procedures and also the mnemonic for each procedure. It can be done and it works fine. This prints for both the individaul print patient Preference Card and also when we use the Print Preference Card routines to run all rooms at the same time. This communicates exactly what is planned to the OR team and also makes it easier to update Preference Cards because the mnemonic is readily available without having to go searching through the system for what was originally booked for the patient. Meditech also needs to realize that this just wasn't something special for our facility, every OR wants this information and it is vital for patient safety and for communicating the correct site and pr! ocedure(s) for every patient.

When entering the procedure, ORM allows the user 40 characters x 4 lines. Unfortunately only 15 characters print on the preference card. This is causing concern for our OR staff. Has this been recognized as a problem for anyone else? If so, how have you handled it? We've been told that Meditech will usually turn down custom requests on the preference cards due to their complexity.
