Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Status Changes on Discharged Patients?
Currently, if Access Services receives a request to change a patient status
post-discharge, anywhere from 30 days to several months, they must Undo the
patient' s discharge and return the patient to the bed last occupied in
Meditech. This means temporarily transferring any current patient out of the
bed, discharging any other patients that occupied the bed in-between, and
performing the status change. It is a lengthy, confusing process and it impacts
some other systems interfaced with Meditech negatively. For example, in NLMC it
causes all patients' which previously occupied the bed to be brought back into
the QS system. This is confusing for staff and causes these patients not to
archive without manual intervention. We believe Pxyis may be affected by these
transactions as well.
Is any other facility resolving this problem in another manner? If yes, how did
they resolve the problem, perhaps through customization, or use of another
module such as Medical Records?
Thanks, Dawn
