Hey Roger- I have worked with a few sites (both Magic and CS) on the partial RXM implementation, and the Drug Dictionary in RXM is the big setup. Theoretically, Mrs. Smith can walk into your ED with a bag of meds on almost anything.including homeopathic meds. So most sites see the need for loading the entire FSV file - about 75,000 lines items. Once you inactive the Band-Aids, syringes, catheters, etc, you end up with about 35,000. Then the fun begins - you only need one Furosemide 40mg, not 16. Removing all of the "duplicates" and ensuring the one you leave is the one in your PHA Dictionary - and then there's order strings. I'd recommend looking at buying them from your FSV.all in all, probably about 200 man-hours of work. Then there's the reports.I think Herb B. and I are both going to show a few examples at the PHA Show-n-Tell this year at International MUSE. I think it's worth the time spent - Nusring likes it; Physicians like it; and Pharmacy likes it too. Be well - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roger Beverly Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 2:40 PM To: Meditech L Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Partial RXM for Med Rec Does anyone have experience with using a partial implementation of RXM to help with Med Reconciliation? We do not have AOM or EDM, so it would be a completely new process for us. The thing that interests me is giving the nurse a manageable way to access a database for home medications, rather than having the meds all free formatted. I am not sure how much work it will take to set up the process - I would have to rewrite all of our med rec reports that we are using, and RXM will be a new frontier. Also, what do the nurses think about it - does it take too long? Thanks - Roger Roger Beverly, PharmD Clinical Pharmacy Coordinator Conway Medical Center, Inc.
