I would like to thank all that responded! Your help and ideas are always greatly appreciated. Once again at Meditech the right hand does not know what the left is doing. In other words, in Magic this functionality already exists, in CS your s#*&!%$. Meditech states that they have heard from other facilities on this issue and it is being "looked at". I found a MIX request from another facility BMV 52124807, which Meditech would like to close due to lack of activity on their part (but of course, once again blaming the lack of activity on the site). I opened MIX request BMV 5229279, referring back to the original MIX request and pointing out that this functionality already exists in Magic. If you are a CS site and are getting ready to implement BMV or e-MAR or think you may some time in the future, please let Meditech know. We feel this will be important when the Nurse is ACKnowleding the medication order. The nurse needs to verify that the med is entered correctly into Meditech by Pharmacy on the day the order is written, not try to hunt down the original order and see if any changes were made to it since then.

You have control over this within the Nursing Parameters - I think it is Process Events but not sure as I don't have access to these parameters. We advised nursing to set this to t+ infinity so that all orders would be available for acknowledgement, but they were reluctant feeling that the eMAR would be too "messy". I think they decided on T+48 initially - then when reality set in after a few days increased it to t+2 weeks. We still don't feel this is adequate because lots of meds are once a month, but it's their call and they have to live with it. The concern over "messy" is totally irrelevant because this only affects maybe one line per maybe 20 patients, but they are convinced it's an issue. If it was up to me, I'd set that parameter at T+ however many 999999s are available in the prompt. Good luck.

The question pertains to future med orders (Physician orders med to begin tomorrow (greater than 24 hours). Meditech states it will not appear on the e-MAR, so how is the Nurse to ACKnowledge it? Have you encountered this issue? If so, how are you handling it?
