Do you have the correct Drug Bar Code Formats setup in the PHA CDP in Test? That is the only think that I can think of making a difference. Roger

I need some help/advice regarding barcode scanners and the new eMAR desktop. We received most of the changes for the new desktop eMAR and it was enabled in our test system a week or so ago. We have been using the Symbol DS6608-DS200007 scanners with the traditional eMAR and the Pharmacy has been using them to scan the meds into the PHA dictionary. Now, these scanners will not work with the desktop eMAR. I had to go back to using a 1D scanner from Metrologic. The problem is that these scanners only read about 1/2 of the formulary. A lot of the drugs have 2D barcodes on them (at least the ones we are getting). Meditech is telling me the Symbol scanners need to be reprogrammed. I am not an expert (far from it) on barcode technologies but if the same scanner reads the same barcodes in PHA, NUR, and the traditional eMAR (and on a blank word document), could it possibly be something wrong with the programming in the new eMAR which is not recognizing these scanners? We go live in a little over a month and I've already ordered 225 of the Symbols. I should be able to exchange them but I have to have a 2D scanner. Thoughts? Help? Advice?
