We are a Magic 5.6 site and we acknowledge from the status board also. It is a valid concern that you have since nurses can not be expected to pull up their status board to view all of the time. One of our unit purchased a monitor to display the status board constantly that was mounted to the nurses station desk . When staff walked by they could see the red "ACK" flag on their patients. During implementation to help with the transistion process we recomended that the unit coordinators flag the patients chart in the chart rack initially and place new paper orders in the patients chart. The flagging of patients charts was a process this hospital had in place prior to CPOE to alert the nurse that new orders were written on their patients that they had to check. Transitioning off the paper POM print outs took some units much longer to accomplish but this was always our goal: to get rid of the paper POM printouts of orders completely. We have been live for 2 years now and currently the nurses check in POM and sort orders by clicking on the DATE/TIME twice to display all new orders in reverse chronoligic order which display the most current orders on the top of the list. This provides them a quick view of the most recent orders . Evelyn Kelleher RN Implementation Specialist Nursing Department 617-243-5907 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Has anyone gotten through this process and do you have a good way for nursing to check orders in Meditech without printing on paper? Some concerns are not getting to computers often enough to not miss new orders, how to not lose track of orders such as hemocult x 3-- how do you keep track of when one or any have been completed? Same with sputums. We do use kardexes but that is back to paper.........Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!
