[MT-L] Bed Management questions

[Scheeler, Jeanne]

Good afternoon:

 

We would like to speak to a site that is using the admit request/bed request from the EDM tracker.   I am entering in the questions we have below in case responding via email is easier. We are a 6.0 but would like to have information from Magic and C/S sites as well.

 

Below the questions that we have:

 

1.      Do you enter in an admit request/bed request from the EDM tracker?

2.      Do you enter in an admit request/bed request from the ORM big board?

3.      What happens/ or who handles the bed request once this is entered?

4.      Do the bed coordinators use the reservation feature or the assign bed feature from the ADM bed management routines?

5.      When you are in the Assign Bed routine, does this take you directly into the registration routine. It does for us and wish it didn’t ! J

6.      Do you have the paging set up for auto-notifications?

7.      Any of other tips and tricks, and information would be greatly appreciated. J

 

Thank you for any additional information that we can provide!

Jeanne

Subject: Re: [MEDITECH-L] Notification to cell/pager when order placed

 

I am actually working with Forward Advantage today to get a smart route set up to send pages for:

1.             A page for ED Respiratory Care orders. We added the ER Room on our requisitions, set up all of the RC RFS orders to print to our Forward Advantage outque, then added a print rule to only print if the location is ED. Plan on sending a page that will display as: ER ROOM: 06  54/M  Hand Held Nebulizer

2.             A page our Triage Nurse when we Receive the patient (excluding patients with EMS as their name – those are entered by Nursing Staff). This was set up in MIS & ADM Messages, will send: Triage: 0805  56M  Stated Complaint

3.             Transfer and Discharge notices to our EVS and House Supervisor pagers. Set up through MIS and ADM Messages. Will send DISCHARGE: SUR  3115 or TRANSFER: PCU 2108

4.             Admit request from the EDM tracker. It’s set up through the Bed Board Notification, so it’s a little different set-up, but still sends an ADT notice.

 

We’ll see how it all works out. The only iffy one is the Bed Request. It was an add on and I’m trying to talk them into adding the notice. We did not set up to generate through the Bed Board Notification because each PC that sends a notification must have a modem attached (as we understand it).

Does anyone know if it is possible to send a notification/alert/message to a cell phone or pager when an order has been placed from a location such as the ED?  If so can you please tell me how to set this up?  We are trying to improve turn around time on critical labs and x-rays.

 

Thanks!

Good afternoon:

 

We would like to speak to a site that is using the admit request/bed request from the EDM tracker.   I am entering in the questions we have below in case responding via email is easier. We are a 6.0 but would like to have information from Magic and C/S sites as well.

 

Below the questions that we have:

 

1.      Do you enter in an admit request/bed request from the EDM tracker?    Yes – physicians (only) enter

2.      Do you enter in an admit request/bed request from the ORM big board?    Don’t use ORM here

3.      What happens/ or who handles the bed request once this is entered? We are multifacility – bed placement staff (dept name varies)

4.      Do the bed coordinators use the reservation feature or the assign bed feature from the ADM bed management routines? Use patient transfer routine to assign bed

5.      When you are in the Assign Bed routine, does this take you directly into the registration routine. It does for us and wish it didn’t ! J

6.      Do you have the paging set up for auto-notifications?   No
