Hi Tara, Have you checked the patient bills where they scanned in the NDC# to the dose field? We went live in December and never thought that they could scan in the dose field. Then we had a charge to a patient acct for like 2 billion. It happened 3 times over the next month or so and we would talk to the RN's involved and tried to re-educate the staff. Politely of course. I have a report that I got from Bill Mullins that lists charges over a certain dollar amount. I have it scheduled to print every morning and list all charges over 12,000. This way I catch them before they become an issue or sneak through. If you would like a copy of the report just let me know. We are magic 5.4. Have a great day Tara.

This is not for every med. It happens with our 0 dose and with Non-formulary meds( we have a med named non-form and we put the med into the dose instructions.) I run a report everyday to check for errors. I also taught the nurses how to run an admins by user report so they can simply check their meds for any big numbers. They do not all do it and I am the one worried about what the chart will look like. What are others doing about this? I don't want to send out a mean message telling them this could affect their license and it is also not fair to them because I am not able to program something into meditech to prevent these kinds of errors. Any suggestions?
