Re: [MEDITECH-L] nursing staff ratios after implementation

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TEACH YOUR NURSES NOT TO DO THEIR FIVE RIGHTS! The computer does not replace critical thinking or manual checks - remember that a HUMAN inputs the information, so another human needs to verify it before trusting that just because it is entered into a computer it is correct. We hav

I am not the one that did it at this facility, but we had our MIS/NPR gurus alter the patient ID label so that the account and MRN numbers are combined on the barcode of ALL labels EXCEPT the one that is designated clearly for the ID band.

We have a training program in place (currently a LIVE body, but working on transitioning to Healthstream for the teaching and LIVE charting scenario in a 1 hr validation session by Fall). We cover both NURDOC and eMAR/BMV in about 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hrs, depending on how "savvy" the up to 14 nurses in

RE: [MEDITECH-L] NURSING: review of systems for admission assessm ent

This is the one that we are currently using (but is under revision). System questions are all the same. The changes are mostly aesthetics and "functional assessment" queries are incorporated into the systems (where needed), duplications are eliminated and case management essentially only wants to k

[MEDITECH-L] Issues with new eMAR verbiage re: time variances

Dear L'rs - We recently upgraded to 5.6 and are experiencing a great deal of confusion with the verbiage Meditech chose to display related to time variance warnings. 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 th

RE: [MEDITECH-L] Medication Reconciliation Process

We use NPR reports that pull from the NUR module (free text in designated columns) to print a Home med report. We have another report that combines the continued Home Meds and the current PHA profile for a transfer report, and a third report that brings all the home meds back, along with the curren

As Daniel suggests, our system is set up with a limited number of drugs (per our HA med policy) that REQUIRE another nurse to input BOTH their mnemonic and password before filing.

RE: [MEDITECH-L] PCI physician access question

PCI self assign may help you - it resolved issues similar here. You can track for HIPAA, but there is a certain amount of "honesty" required on the part of the provider in that they can access ANY record as long as they answer the self-assign screen...There are ways to send notifications to the oth

RE: [MEDITECH-L] EMAR/BMV Custom MAR Worklist for Nursing

I had pursued this late last year - was told by Meditech that we could not download it as a zcus copy of their standard because it was a PROGRAM that combined lots of things. It's a beautiful report, and we wanted to amend some things into a custom "footer" area. Was told "no can do"... -Orig

Some things can be done real time, and others that is an unrealistic expectation.
