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.

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
