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 :-)

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?

Thanks,

Tamara
