I think the Status Board is a fantastic way for Nursing to see new orders in general - LAB, RAD, MED, etc. You can also add a second tray to your printers and have the POM Order Sheets print to that location.and use colored paper to really drive it home. I have found that optimizing the POM build to aid in "ease-of-use" is the key to increasing end user utilization. There has to be something in it for them, unfortunately, and I'm also assuming you had physician input with the build? Best of luck - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

From: meditech-l@MTUsers.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Laura Wilson Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 3:04 PM To: meditech-l@MTUsers.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SPAM] [MEDITECH-L] POM/CPOE Processes (Resending....sorry for the priorPGP problems!!!) We are struggling with POM trying to bring it live. 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!
