Hey David/Allen- My knee jerk response is most likely the same as many others - why are UNV orders sitting in the queue that long? But besides that, I think the catch for me is...have the meds been dispensed and/or possibly administered? Are these UNV orders entered by Pharm Techs or do you use POM? For patient safety, I believe most site DO NOT have UNV orders cross to the eMAR or a dispensing cabinet - so that should leave the possible "floor stock" or an override from the cabinet as a choice for nursing to get the med in the first place.
I am certainly not defending MT, but my understanding was the use of auto-verify has to do with billing...a CAN order goes no where. I don't like it either, but I think as you roll with the update and the changed functionality (that goes for any app with any update/new release) we are forced to re-assess our current workflow and it lends toward the opportunity for some process re-design. Best of luck - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

After the update we discovered that unverified orders were no longer being treated the same way in the Pharmacy module. Previously, if an unverified ordered was on a patient profile and the patient was discharged before the order was verified, the order would be cancelled. With the new release, the order is now auto-verified by the system. We perceive this as quite dangerous. Have any other sites had experience in dealing with this issue.
