This has been a big discussion for us as well. We currently use POM sheets and the clericals and nurses are pretty dependent on them. We are about to use the acknowledge feature from the status board beginning in June and slowly wean off the POM sheets. The clericals have status boards and they will notify the nurse if there is a stat order. There is not really a way to alert them unless they all carry pagers or check e-mail frequently (not). We are also about to upgrade our companion phones. They have the capability to interface with OE to send a message to the nurse's phone when a new order is placed. This is not something we purchased but may add later.

We have a small group of physicians who are working with us (Information Systems) to work through issues and streamline processes. We have some questions for those of you who are finding success with this implementation. How do your nurses know when a physician has placed an order? Have you built some sort of alerts? Status board? Other method? Are you still printing Lab results and Radiology reports to the nursing units? If you are how are you handling this problem? (We are printing the orders from POM when a physician places the orders. These become mixed in a huge stack of orders, results and reports, and orders are being missed. Then physicians are being called again because the nurse doesn't realize that the order has already been placed. Thus, the physicians are getting angry.) Any feedback, ideas, assistance will be greatly appreciated!
