I am currently struggling with the ADT to dispensing machine interface.
We are seeing patient medical record edits in Meditech ADM creating A08
messages for the spectrum of that patient's visits and the dispensing
machine is interpreting these as re-admits. Hence, the dispense machine
will have multiple account numbers added for one patient.

Did anyone else have this problem and how did the dispense machine
vendor and/or Meditech NMI set this up to correct? (or interface engine
vendor) Someone has to have seen this before. Thanks!

If you are in MAGIC, have meditech turn off demo recall for that interface.

Tim.... We have the same exact issue. I am working with our Pyxis engineer but without solution as of yet. He believes the issue may lies with the way Meditech sends a re-admit message.
I have not contacted Meditech yet but it looks like I may have to. Of course they will tell me it's a Pyxis issue and I'll be playing tag between the two.

Let me know if by chance you are able to resolve this.

Here is what we found and implemented in our Pyxis Interface:

The Pyxis Autodischarge times are being reset
by updates, and some patient admits are overlapping.

Setup:
Pyxis does not receive discharge messages for outpatient areas.
A08 update message do not have discharge times
Outpatient auto-discharge times are set to 24 hours.
Pyxis receives an update to a patient after 24 hours which makes them
active again on the Console.

Solution:
Enable update (A08) discard criteria based on time and patient
type/class.
My thought would be to discard all updates (A08's) after 24 hours of
registration for all outpatients.

Michael,

We had this problem as well. We had the Pyxis engineer block A08 messages to our outpatient areas.

This sounds exactly like an issue we recently saw here. We had our NMI specialist suppress demo recall events in that ADT to Pyxis outbound interface. Hope that helps.

We asked Pyxis to ignore A08 messages.
Hope this helps
