Add us to the list of "Don't Likers"! We just returned from our BMV/eMAR training in 5.6 and we, too, were very confused by the wording of these messages. We would like to see Meditech change the wording to something more straight-forward such as "The time that you are documenting is 2 hrs and 15 mins before the scheduled dose!"
Thanks, Kenny Whiteside >>> "Kimberly Frick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/25/07 8:32 AM >>> Yes, this was an issue for us too. We had to really explain the message in training because our users found it confusing. Our previous barcoded medication administration system had separate parameters to warn the user if a med was too early or too late. The warning message stated "too early" or "too late". We could even set a prn parameter that warned if the med was "too close". I would like to see Meditech change their time variance to separate customer-defined parameters like we had with our other system.

In short, the wording makes many of our staff think they are choosing a time ahead (when it is really late) and vice verse, unless they really read and analyze the message. Anyone else encountering issues with this with their end-users? We are considering asking Meditech for a custom if that is the only way to resolve, but would love to hear from other sites about their experience. TIA! Randi L.
