Re: [MEDITECH-L] Simple NPR Line Condition Question

[McGaw, Douglas]

Dave, 

 

I've not done this, but if I were, I would first assume that you're
listing the @user out of the MIS.DIST.GROUP database - either as a
multiple or as a detail line if you're in the mis.dist.group.users
segment.  @user points to the MIS.USER dictionary, so you can simply
print the supervisor status as a possessive:  @user's.supervisor.yn.

 

If you only want to show the ones that ARE supervisors, put this
statement into a computed variable VAL line:

[MEDITECH-L] Use of Wyse Terminals and Citrix with MEDITECH

[Romanoff, Randy]

Hello all,

We are a C/S 5.5.2 site thinking about using Windows XP embedded Wyse
Terminals with Citrix for our COW's and wall mounted stations. Has
anyone out there gone this route? If so, would you be willing to give
some feedback on your experience (both positive and negative)? I have
read in the past that the EMR and PCS have problems with Citrix, does
anyone out there have specific issues?

 

Thanks in advance,

[MEDITECH-L] Off Topic : Posted Messages Not Appearing On Meditech L

[James A. Purvins]

To Meditech-L,
Thank you for those respondents that informed that my email was going to their 
 message folder.

Interesting point that the message that I sent from my home did indeed make it 
to my mailbox.

However, messages sent from my work did not seem to post to the listor at 
least they didn't make it to my email folder at work...either my regular 
Meditech-L folder nor my junk box folder.

Possibly leads me to believe that the email address at work might be doing some 
filtering of junk mail.

That's fine by meI will cease to provide information and feedback from my 
work address if they assume it is junk mail.

[MEDITECH-L] Display of Code Status on Pre-ER patients

[Mary Sellman]

Hi all,

We are in the process of implementing MEDITECH for the 1st time and are
going up with several modules.  We recently received an upgrade to CS
5.5 that provides for the Code Status of a patient to be entered in POM
and displayed in red on the patient header.

What we have discovered is that if a patient is a PRE ER patient and the
Code Status order is processed, the status DOES NOT populate the header.
It will however populate the Risk/Legal panel from the Summary Panel in
the EMR

We reported this as a problem with the enhancement because patients who
have been received in the ED but not yet registered are patients at high
risk of arresting.  The nurse needs to know what the code status is
ASAP.

We were told that this wasn't an oversight and that they specifically
left this out for a reason and up till now we have not had anyone ask
about it.  They suggested we submit an MTX request.

My questions are:

Have any other sites tested this new functionality? 

Do other sites see the benefit of having this available for PRE ER
patients?


Thanks!

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Nursing use of paperless (POM) orders
 
Hello all,
 We are in the process of rolling out POM and have had many concerns
from nursing about not having orders printed on paper for them to refer to.
Has anyone gotten through this process and do you have a good way for
nursing to check orders in Meditech without printing on paper? Some concerns
are not getting to computers often enough to not miss new orders, how to not
lose track of orders such as hemocult x 3-- how do you keep track of when
one or any have been completed? Same with sputums. We do use kardexes but
that is back to paper.Any input or advice would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,

Good morning everyone,
 
We are currently in the process of implementing the EDM module and plan
to
use the POM and eMAR functionality. Most scenarios appear to work
fairly well
but we are having some issues with IV Add-Vantage antibiotics.
Presently we
have these set up as combination meds in Pyxis so that nursing gets
prompted
for both drug and solution. 
These can be entered via POM without a problem and the orders cross
over to
Pyxis without a problem. When the med and diluent are taken from Pyxis,
stock
orders drop onto the patient PHA profile and create additional eMAR
entries.
This causes problems with the tracker as it shows the additional stock
orders
as well as the entered order.
 
We'd appreciate any insight, hints or advice on working through this.
Thanks

Re: [MEDITECH-L] Nursing use of paperless (POM) orders

[Kelleher, Evelyn M.]

We are a Magic 5.6 site and we acknowledge from the status board also. 
It is a valid concern that you have since nurses can not be expected to pull  up
their status board to view all of the time. 
One of our unit purchased a monitor to display the status board constantly that
was mounted to the nurses station desk .  When staff walked by they could see
the red "ACK" flag on their patients. 
  During implementation to help with the transistion process we recomended that
the unit coordinators flag the patients chart in the chart rack initially and
place new paper orders in the patients chart.  The flagging of patients charts
was a process this hospital had in place prior to CPOE  to alert the nurse  that
new orders were written on their patients that they had to check.  
 
Transitioning off the paper POM print outs took some units much longer to
accomplish but this was always our goal:  to get rid of  the paper POM printouts
of orders completely.
 
We have been live for 2 years now and currently the nurses check in POM and sort
orders by clicking on the DATE/TIME twice to display all new orders in reverse
chronoligic order which display the most current orders on the top of the list.
This provides them a quick view of the most recent orders .

Hello all,
 We are in the process of rolling out POM and have had many concerns from
nursing about not having orders printed on paper for them to refer to. Has
anyone gotten through this process and do you have a good way for nursing to
check orders in Meditech without printing on paper? Some concerns are not
getting to computers often enough to not miss new orders, how to not lose track
of orders such as hemocult x 3-- how do you keep track of when one or any have
been completed? Same with sputums. We do use kardexes but that is back to
paper.Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Re: [MEDITECH-L] Physician Office Software

So far we only have to deal with two flavors of physician office EMR
software.  One needs a specific format for the HL7 feed and the other is
a little more open.  We are using Summit Healthcare's integration suite
to do the interfacing.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Display of Code Status on Pre-ER patients

 

Hi all,

We are in the process of implementing MEDITECH for the 1st time and are
going up with several modules.  We recently received an upgrade to CS
5.5 that provides for the Code Status of a patient to be entered in POM
and displayed in red on the patient header.

What we have discovered is that if a patient is a PRE ER patient and the
Code Status order is processed, the status DOES NOT populate the header.
It will however populate the Risk/Legal panel from the Summary Panel in
the EMR

We reported this as a problem with the enhancement because patients who
have been received in the ED but not yet registered are patients at high
risk of arresting.  The nurse needs to know what the code status is
ASAP.

We were told that this wasn't an oversight and that they specifically
left this out for a reason and up till now we have not had anyone ask
about it.  They suggested we submit an MTX request.

My questions are:

Have any other sites tested this new functionality? 

Do other sites see the benefit of having this available for PRE ER
patients?

Thanks!

We're needing to update every PC in the house with the latest version of
the MEDITECH Remote Workstation (side note: if you're MAGIC & going to
5.61, this probably will apply to you as well; since the update, we've
seen some strange issues occurring in NUR with older versions of the
Workstation that don't happen with the newest, which is 4.20d).  We can
use Group Policy Manager to update software if it is in a .msi format,
but MEDITECH uses .exe's.  

How do you push these out?  Do you have software that creates .msi's
from the .exe's?  Do you have other software that you use to push these
out?

Re: [MEDITECH-L] Request for advice re lts in ER who really areinpatients

Hi Peggy,

 

We have a location called ED Hold. This is an inpatient location. The
patients are admitted to this location when we don't have an available
bed. They may be in this location only for a few minutes or for many
hours. 

 

We do keep the patients on the tracker until they go to the unit. On our
tracker we have a status of Hold. 

 

I don't know about the stats, but this does work for the physicians.

Hi,

I have seen many options discussed on this site regarding how different
facilities handle pts who are to be admitted but have to be held in the
ER for extended periods. At this facility we have been directed to never
have the patient admitted but to leave registered to ER while in ER
regardless of actual status.

 

This is great for some stats and for staff access to the patient in
Meditech. It creates some other problems however. It is creating some
problems for Docs who run the YOUR PATIENT IN A BED routine in PCI - the
Docs know the patient is to be admitted and depend on their lists they
run in the am before rounds. One option would be to create an inpt
location in the ER area perhaps??

 

We would really appreciate advice from those of you who have different
options in place that work well for ER staff, Physicians and stats?? 

 

Thank-you in advance,

Re: [MEDITECH-L] Physician Office Software

We are in the testing phases with Summit as well. Are you client server
or magic ? Did you do a custom with MEDITECH for lab screens ?

Re: [MEDITECH-L] POM to cabinet dispense to e-MAR

[Stone, Courtney]

Please post.

 

Marianne, we have an issue with this as well.  We've been live with our
pilot for nine months.  During the course of this time, many users still
do not properly understand how the administration times of medications
work.  We have documentation posted all over the unit about it and we've
given folks both group and individual trainings.  

 

I think our staff believes that entering medications in the system
should be just as easy as writing it on paper.  

 

Thanks,

Courtney

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] POM to cabinet dispense to e-MAR

 

Can sites that are significantly live with POM (we are almost 75%),
cabinets and e-MAR let us know how they have dealt with POM orders and
standard administration times? 

 

The issue is that our providers tend to place orders now with T and N as
the start and it's up to the provider and the nurse to work out when the
patient gets the first dose.  The process has a lot of variation that
depends on the work habits of the individual.

Ideally we'd like the providers to declare their first dose time, allow
nurses to get meds the cabinet without an override, document admin
without appearing "late" and reduce the current variation in the
process.

 

Thank you.

[MEDITECH-L] Admin Billing Question

[Beth Lupien]

Hello,

 

I am sure that this question has gone around a time or two although I
did not find much on the topic in the archives.  We are a Magic 5.5 site
with BMV fully implemented and evaluating whether or not to switch from
Refill billing to Admin Billing.

 

Does anyone have any Pros and / or Cons to using either method?  Did you
hit any big bumps in the road if you have made this transition at your
facility?

 

Thanks,

 

Beth

[MEDITECH-L] [Meditech -L] Patient Care Documentation

[Charlotte]

How are some of you wonderful, kind, caring people handling this:  Nursing
needs to start documenting that they have made rounds on and/or visualized
every patient hourly.  The patient can be visualized by a nurse, cna,
volunteer, unit secretary, dietary, maintenance, etc. the nurse just needs
to document that the patient has been seen.  It was suggested by one of the
managers that there be a query on the shift assessment that the patient has
been seen hourly, but I don't agree with this.

Any suggestions?

Re: [MEDITECH-L] [Meditech -L] Patient Care Documentation

[Witt, Sharon L.]

Charlotte,
 
I can see this from both view points.  You are thinking that they need
to document every hour. That would seem to match the requirement.
 
Hourly documentation is a challenge as it means for an 8 hour shift, I
have to document 8 times, being sure that the last time is close to the
end of my shift as I can't document in the future. You are apt to have
someone document the last one at 2:30 for the day shift with the next
one being documented at 4:00 for the next shift. 
When we initially started with NUR, we were documenting every hour on
observation patients. That became difficult at the end of the shift. We
finally got the person who was insisting that hourly documentation was
needed to change her stance on the topic. It was much easier on paper.
No one could track that you actually documented the 3pm observations at
2:30.
 
 
The manager is wanting them to only have to document it once.
 
I am not sure that the shift assessment would be the right place for
this as the assessment is typically done near the beginning of the shift
but I would encourage you to at least consider a way to make it so it
only has to be documented once a shift.  We have to try to keep this
process as easy for the nurses as possible. We keep coming up with more
and more things that need to be documented and the nurse at the bedside
is feeling that they are spending more time with the computer than they
do with the patient.  
 
We defined our Restraint policy to require documentation once a shift
for the restraint checks rather than required the more frequent
documentation. We indicated that the documentation needs to be done near
the end of the shift. We audit every restraint chart and if the
documentation is done at the beginning of the shift rather than the end,
it is reflected in the audit and would be addressed as necessary.
 
 
We haven't gotten to the point where we are documenting the hourly
rounds yet.The other challenge I can see with this is, if the
patient is being visualized by someone other than a nurse, how does the
nurse know for sure that it happened? 
 
Good luck with this.

Re: [MEDITECH-L] Pharmacy NDC for 1500 Billing

[Jordan, Shane]

We went through the Meditech suggestion.  KB#'s 24675, 18890, 18336
explained this.  We had to add the CDS to each pharmacy procedure charge
on page 2 of the chargemaster then also.  It really wasn't that bad of a
fix.  I was able to script the CDS onto page 2 using Summit Healthcare's
Scripting Toolkit, took less than 5 minutes to write that.  I would say
the whole process took about 2 hours (between changes and the script
running, for about 2500 drugs).

 

Thanks,

Shane

This has to do with fall risk and I want to have the patient pulled to
this report if the nurse has documented yes to these queries on the CDS
for fall risk.  Does anyone have such a report that I could "tweak" or
do you know how I write it?  Thanks.

Re: [MEDITECH-L] [Meditech -L] Patient Care Documentation

[Sharon LaDuke]

Charlotte, I think this debate is going on in every facility - can
something that has to be done at prescribed intervals be documented as a
single entry, or must it be done be documented every time it is done?

 

I am seeing it done both ways, sometimes within the same facility.
Leadership may determine that one type of care is so high risk, it has
to be documented multiple times. Conversely, something that is low risk
may be documented once.

 

Both approaches raise further questions. If something can be done many
times but documented just once, can the charting be done at any time
during the shift, or would it be better to document at the end of the
shift, when a nurse can truthfully chart "I did this every hour"? If
something is so important it has to be documented repeatedly, when is
that documentation going to take place - concurrently, or all at once at
the end of the shift? If concurrently, does the nurse's caseload really
permit this? Is there enough hardware available to support this goal? If
it's going to be documented many time, but doesn't have to be done until
the end of the shift, is there any logic to a nurse who is completing a
12 hour shift making 12 entries on the time and date stamp and then
recording all entries at the same time? 

 

There are many things in a hospital that are supposed to be done every
two hours, or every hour, or even every 15 minutes. If all have to be
documented every time they occur, and documented real time, that could
require substantial changes in staffing, workflow, equipment provisions,
etc. So I think choices have to be made. If the manager who made the
suggestion that you describe is the manager of the only department that
has to document the hourly rounds, then I would tend to side with the
manager's view of things. He/she has ultimate responsibility for care
and documentation. If, on the other hand, multiple departments are
involved, I would bring this issue to whatever committee or channel you
have for making decisions like this. Other resources might be the risk
manager, quality manager, CNO.

 

One red flag that jumps out here at me is the notion that the nurse is
expected to document that the patient was seen when that observation was
made by somebody else. I think you might want to talk to risk management
for this reason, if none other.

 

Sharon

How are some of you wonderful, kind, caring people handling this:
Nursing needs to start documenting that they have made rounds on and/or
visualized every patient hourly.  The patient can be visualized by a
nurse, cna, volunteer, unit secretary, dietary, maintenance, etc. the
nurse just needs to document that the patient has been seen.  It was
suggested by one of the managers that there be a query on the shift
assessment that the patient has been seen hourly, but I don't agree with
this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

[MEDITECH-L] NPR-fragments question

[Randy Suinn]

hi all,

I've written a fragment that takes a list of patient urns as one of it's 
selects.  The fragment then goes through NUR.PC.WORK and does some totalling 
then displays those totals in it's TR region.

When I call the fragment (from ADM) it runs fine, does the totalling, but the 
TR region doesn't print.
I read that the TR region won't print when called as a fragment :-(

Is there a way around this w/o having the calling rpt handle the printing of 
the totals?

btw, eventually I'll have many different calling reports calling this one 
fragment.


TIAA everyone and happy 4th!
