We recently switched from Pcics to Meditech's ORM and we like it much better! Our PACU's use it as well but Anesthesia isn't interested in even looking at any online system. There are not as many "standard sections" for PACU (only Post Anesthesia recovery score, vital signs, notes and meds/ I&O) but you can attach any Nursing intervention you want to the PACU Assessments section. Our PACU was already using Meditech NUR and like the three interventions they used a lot (PACU Admission Assessment, PACU Record and PACU Discharge Assessment). We revised but kept the Admission and Discharge Assessments but the information in their old "Record" was replaced with Meditech standard sections. The only Meditech standard section they are not using is the Meds/I&O. Instead, we built CDS's for this (pre-op, IntraOp and PACU) and attached them to one of the 5 parameter "Profile Screens". Their Meds/I&O screens still need some development as far as we were concerned. Hope this helps! Thanks, Susan :-) ________________________________

I am not sure why you say they don't have a PACU component since we are using it....There is an anesthesia section too but our anes docs won't use it. That is our only downfall with the product otherwise it went up like a charm and users love it.

We're Meditech Magic and have looked at Meditech and Picis so far. Meditech was pretty good but doesn't have an anesthesia or PACU component. Picis was also pretty good but they recently changed their pricing structure and consequently are no longer a viable alternative for us. Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
