We have been working to address this issue in conjunction with our
community pain management program. Our goal is to inform providers
about both those patients who are "seeking drugs" and those with
specific pain management plans generated either by a specialist or the
patient's PCP. We are going to be using the "Pain Management Plan" EMR
ID which we requested and received from MEDITECH. Currently, we are
working with MEDITECH to map that to the summary screen so the
information will be easily available to all providers. A brief note is
entered via PCM with the appropriate information. We are on C/S 5.5.2.

Have you considered the CCI, but coding it in a way that isn't taught to
non patient care staff? It could easily be documented as something like
"Prescribed Meds easily abused", or some such idea. One that mainly ED
staff would understand but that wouldn't be any more detrimental than
HIV positive, MRSA positive, etc.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Documenting "drug seekers"
Has anyone come up with a creative way within Client Server to denote an
individual as a "drug seeker"? We are trying to capture this at the
medical record level and not at a patient account level, so it can be
accessed by clinical staff. We have thought about using critical care
indicators, but they are not confidential and would be viewable by non
patient care staff.
