What I've seen is that Pharmacy not only puts the meds on the eMAR, they enter an RT order in OE which prints to the RT office. However, my experience has been that even so, it can be difficult to get RTs to be compliant with documenting their treatments in eMAR, or if they do, to get them to scan first. Sharon

We are missing some respiratory med doses because here our respiratory staff give the respiratory meds, but frequently do not know who needs the med or when it is to be given. We do use BMV and eMAR here but because these meds are given by Respiratory , the nursing staff does not do anything with these meds including notifying Respiratory. Respiratory does not have a way to see who in the building needs respiratory meds, unless they look at every patient eMAR . The problem is when Pharmacy orders a handful of specific meds that respiratory dept is responsible to give the patient, we do not have a way in the system to notify respiratory that the meds are due or ordered. Does anyone else have this issue ? If so , how are you getting notified ? Galey Gale Y.
