We are only requiring this with PCA's, Epidurals and Insulin drips. Since we are using BMV with eMAR they do document the co-signature prior to administration but both nurses do have to be present. They don't like it but in order for it to serve the intended purpose......
Thanks, Susan :-) ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dolan, Tamara Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 2:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] eMAR Co-signatures Our nurses, particularly the outpatient oncology clinic staff, find the eMAR co-signature routine cumbersome. They would prefer to be able to document co-signing a medication prior to it being administered and independent of the primary nurse. Has anyone else dealt with these concerns and found a more workable solution? Do two nurses always document the administration of high risk drugs such as chemotherapy in your institution?
