Jeff, The 5.6 EMAR is a complete rewrite and it may well show the PRN reason more prominently. Like I said before, we do require the PRN reason and we have not had any problem with nursing missing the reason. We do print the PRN reason on the med label.
I would be concerned that the doc will not enter the reason as a comment. Tim Brady Director of Information Systems Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pierson, Jeff Sent: Thursday, February 08, 2007 1:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: FW: [MEDITECH-L] POM PRN Reasons I planned to use PRN reasons with eMAR and even built the dictionary, but now am hesitating. We are Magic 5.5 and when the nurses scroll through the meds on the eMAR, the PRN reason seems very difficult to spot. The label comments (where we have traditionally entered prn reasons) do display quite prominently though so I guess we will stick with this practice. Am I missing something - I would love to hear the experiences of others regarding what works best for the nurses. We will be soon be seeing 5.6 and I hope this will make the decision easier.
