Hi Michael- It is that reason, among others, that I believe few sites use the "Non-Formulary" section/dictionary. Instead, a mnemonic of NF and/or a Drug Type of NF can be used to identify and list these orders. It's not just an issue for PCM - the eMAR display and drug scanability are becoming a

RE: [SPAM] [MEDITECH-L] Iatric Visual Flow Sheet

The VFS product is wonderful - so many uses, as I'm sure you've discovered. One con I've found is that it can not reproduce the Magic eMAR with regards to PHA Order Types and Access. The MT eMAR in Magic has the functionality to drive only the desired Order Types to display by access.unfortunately

RE: [MEDITECH-L] Magic programming, rules, etc.

Hey Tom- I think it's a huge combination of self-taught, knowledge of NPR, knowledge from others, and a few of those "classes" at MUSE by the experts such as Brian S, etc. don't hurt! Best of luck - Kevin PS - And check out the latest on Meditech.com...5.5 Rules - you can evaluate in the eMAR now

RE: [SPAM] RE: [MEDITECH-L] Nurses enter coded allergies?

Hey Alan- Coded vs. Uncoded - coded is from an lookup while uncoded is free-text. Verified vs. Unverified - similar to PHA Order Entry...typically only a Pharmacist does "verified". All unverified entries must be VERIFIED by a Pharmacist. Therefore, a "coded-unverified" entry is entered by a non

RE: [SPAM] [MEDITECH-L] eMAR - Exclude Select PHA Order Types

The only workaround I've seen is to use the same OT as assigned to "Dispensing Machines" and have those blocked to eMAR. Best of luck - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD. Clinical Consultant (713)480-6810 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.RPhInformatics.com

RE: [SPAM] [MEDITECH-L] PHA: Desiging Drug Database

Hi Adnan- Not exactly sure what is meant by "...2 separate databases..." - I'm assuming that means utilizing the "Non-Formulary Dictionary". For many reasons I would not recommend utilizing that particular dictionary, mainly for maintenance issues. The option of a unique mnemonic is problematic a

Hey Charlie- I've been doing tall-man for years - the first 4 letters need to be caps in the field...not exactly what ISMP has, but JCAHO likes it nonetheless. DOPAmine DOBUTAmine PREDnisoLONE METHYLprednisoLONE Used in the Generic Name Dictionary, these are outputted to PHA Labels, MAR's, etc.

RE: [SPAM] RE: [MEDITECH-L] Residents and ordering Dialysis Order Sets

Hey Cindy- If you can identify an independent "hook" - such as the MIS Profile in CS - you can then use rules to control who FILES any specific order. Or if the user mnemonics began with RES... you can truncate the mnemonic and evaluate on that as well. Just incorporate a message with the REPLACE

Hey Valerie- I assume you had the parameter changed in the TBP's to test the Renewal functionality? Are you using a Soft Stop as well (kind of the same as the Renewal)? There's also the Med Renewal Notice List Report, and a selection of "custom" reports floating around - Magic or CS? Also, how l

RE: [MEDITECH-L] How do I get Pharmacy to send a secondarychargehooked to a regu lar charge

"Charge Explosion" is something that is routinely used by lab, rad, etc. A billing # assigned to a PHA mnemonic crosses to BAR, then that actually keys two procedures in BAR to charge - in reality, the billing # on the PHA side is a dummy. Ask your BAR folks, they should know all about Charge Exp

RE: [MEDITECH-L] International MUSE 2007 PHA - Show and Tell Time & JamSession

Hey Herb- Besides the Notifications, I was thinking about real-time LAB VERIFY rules, and maybe a Pharmacy Tracker I've been working on if there's interest. Med Rec is so big right now; maybe some other reports too (besides that side-by-side) since a lot of sites unfortunately don't have their Dru
