You better believe it! Ohio's Pharmacy Board showed up on our doorstep the week we went live to make sure that another nurse could not document on our session. They went into a patient's room with a nurse and had another nurse try to file the documentation. Meditech has to give Ohio sites a custom to meet our requirements for nurse scanning upon administration.

This level of security doesn't exist in the paper MAR world, so why is it so restrictive in the electronic version? Our State Board of Pharmacy requires us to enter our pin last, so we did not have a choice for that either. The only advantage I can see of entering it last is that you can access the e-mar to view the MAR, run MAR reports or do anything else except document without entering your pin. The "enter pin" prompt only comes up when you document something.

If your nurses ALWAYS log off when they walk away from their computers.... I would say that the redundancy would be insane. But I also know that in the fast-paced, pulled in every direction at once world of hospital nursing... that's not likely to happen. For this reason, we chose to require the user's password when entering the eMAR from the Status Board. But who knows, maybe someday we will decide that this is not necessary! Have a good weekend, Kenny Whiteside >>> "O'Briant, Deborah L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/11/2007 11:38 PM >>> Hello All, I am trying to gauge how the majority of sites live with the eMAR set up their password/pin options in MIS. We are currently using the NUR Status Board and the Project lead for nursing wants to take out any additional requirement to authenticate the user signing on to the eMAR. The thought is that the original request for a user mnemonic/password to log onto Meditech is sufficient and asking for the password again if accessing the eMAR, once in the Status Board, is redundant (we've set it up so all inpatient nurses get the Status Board upon successful sign-in). Our State Board of Pharmacy does not currently have any specific guidelines (yet) for us to follow. Has anyone experienced problems (ie, diversion) with the eMar and what security was in place at the time? I am trying to think of every scenario where having no additional requirement to access the eMAR might get us into trouble. I greatly appreciate anyone taking a minute to answer this posting! Thanks in advance!
