FYI
 
Based on something all of you are saying, and what we have found with
our 5.61 Testing, there may be something related here.
 
We were initially delivered 5.61 SR2 code, did some testing for a couple
of weeks, never noticed a problem with documentation.
Then we were delivered PP5 topoff code, which as I understand it, gave
us SR3, SR4, and SR5 changes.  Right away we found we are missing half
our documentation.
 
If we document any intervention (through status board, process
intervention, document now), fill in an entire screen of data, file it,
then go into View History, View (the documented occurrence) - nothing is
there EXCEPT for queries marked to Demo Recall and queries set with
Multiple=Y.  Nothing appears in Patient Profile reports that have a
historical format either.
 
However, if we VH - Edit (the Documented occurrence), fill in the entire
screen again and file it, then VH - View (the Edited
occurrence)documentation will be there.
 
If this sounds familiar or can be reproduced by anyone else, my meditech
task is NUR 5197132 and was opened on 3/29/07.  Meditech has been able
to reproduce my situation but has not yet (as of this writing) given any
ideas on what the issue may be.

ex:dischargesummaries, data bases


Debbie,
 
We have had the same issue and I have been trying to Meditech to fix it
for several months. Yesterday they told me that the query responses that
have missing information are in the fields that the cursor has been
entered through to get to the area that needs edited. We did a little
test of this yesterday. We found that if we paged down through a page
and did not have the cursor stop on any field, all of the responses
remained when the edit printed. If we entered through several query
responses, some of them did disappear, but not all. If they print the
report through Print Profile all of the query responses are there. So
entering through some responses does have something to do with the
problem of auto printing when an edit has been made. I just don't
understand why it didn't remove all of the responses that the cursor
entered through. I have not heard back from Meditech since I sent them
these results last evening.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Auto print of nursing interventions ex:
dischargesummaries, data bases




We are Magic 5.61.  We have our discharge summaries and admission data
bases set on the 2nd page of the intervention dictionary set to auto
print once the intervention is filed.  We have had issues if the
intervention is edited and then prints, in which not all of the info is
printing once edited.  Meditech says that if the user does a view
history (VH) and edits instead of a new documentation (DI) that only the
edited results will print.  We have always instructed our users not to
do a new DI when they are editing what they just documented on, is this
correct?  The problem ends up being that you have 2 printed forms, one
when they originally file the documentation and another if they edit it,
and neither end up having the correct info.  Is anyone out there having
this same issue?  Do others have their discharge summaries and data
bases print automatically or do the users manually print them?  I'd like
to hear how others handle printing of these very important documents.
