Hi All,
How do other hospitals using eMAR enter orders for infusions that are given as
syringes, BUT requires the dose to be split into 2 syringes.
1. If we enter the order as two orders, the nurse may forget to document on
one of the orders OR think that the orders are duplicates and only give
one syringe.
2. If we enter it as one order so that the nurse can document on a single(total
dose) order, the pharmacy labels won't be correct on the 2 syringes
because the dose in each syringe is only half. Also how would we handle
the documentation of one nurse administered syringe #1, and to wait for
some reason to give the second half of the dose...then a second nurse is
assigned to administers syringe #2
How do other hospitals document on a total dose order that is supplied in
multiple syringes?
