Marianne, we have an issue with this as well. We've been live with our pilot for nine months. During the course of this time, many users still do not properly understand how the administration times of medications work. We have documentation posted all over the unit about it and we've given folks both group and individual trainings. I think our staff believes that entering medications in the system should be just as easy as writing it on paper. Thanks, Courtney ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Deignan Marianne Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 9:39 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] POM to cabinet dispense to e-MAR Can sites that are significantly live with POM (we are almost 75%), cabinets and e-MAR let us know how they have dealt with POM orders and standard administration times? The issue is that our providers tend to place orders now with T and N as the start and it's up to the provider and the nurse to work out when the patient gets the first dose. The process has a lot of variation that depends on the work habits of the individual. Ideally we'd like the providers to declare their first dose time, allow nurses to get meds the cabinet without an override, document admin without appearing "late" and reduce the current variation in the process. Thank you.
