When I asked my Meditech BMV consultant if there was any way to flag a prn as too soon, he said no. I'll request this DTS.

Many sites would like to create a rule to flag nusing users if they give a PRN medication too close to the last dose given. The following is an example of a MAR ADMIN rule that will flag users if they try to give a medication with the direction of PRN/Q4H more then once within 4 hours from the other dose: Direction: PRN/Q4H Rule: [f z last admin],[f z today/now in sec]^NOW, NOW-ADMINSEC^TS, "It has not been 2 hrs since this med was last administered"^MSG, IF{([f rx sig]="PRN/Q4H")&(TS<7200) [f rx err msg](MSG);1}; Below is the information on how to build the custom keywods "z last admin" and "z today/now in sec" : z last admin Active: Y Assign to Group: Z Name: last administration time Multiple Output Lines?: N Execute at Translation?: N Code: ""^END, DO{(@Last(admin.q)^admin.q)&(END_.=.) @admin.seconds^ADMINSEC,1^END} z today/now in sec Active: Y Assign to Group: Z Name: today/now in seconds Multiple Output Lines?: N Execute at Translation?: N Code: %Z.date.clinical(@.today)*86400+%Z.time.in(@.now) ________________________________ From: meditech-l@MTUsers.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kimberly Frick Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 7:32 AM To: Horsley, Randi - CRH; meditech-l@MTUsers.com Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Issues with new eMAR verbiage re: time variances 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.
