So, what’s the story on MedHost w/ Meditech 6.06+? With a bunch of Iatric interfaces, I understand? My ED physicians & director are enamored of this product, despite having already purchased (and started training on) EDM….What’s the scoop? Does it work for anyone?

Good to hear, Gale, thanks for the quick reply. How big is your ED (patients per year)?

 

Thanks!

We use MEDHOST , we are C/S 5.65 , but were live with it on 5.64 . So far it is working for us. We do use Iatrics to interface to Meditech.

One big consideration is whether you’re going to have just ADT, ADT and Results, or the full monty with documentation included.  It makes a huge difference for HIM and for the floors after ED patients have been admitted (and for your interface budget).

Thanks for the various replies, these and some other great details. MedHost has also talked about importing problem lists and other parts of the physician documentation, but that's certainly above & beyond any of the interfacing we've worked with thus far. We've got ADT feeds, of course, as well as lab results, RAD reports, PACS interfacing, Pyxis interfacing, so hopefully we're starting from a good point, but we have no experience with sending physician documentation from one system to another.

Thanks!

Gary

Uggh. Yes, another responder said that the documentation was not good (they used a different word :) ) when it exports to Meditech. ITS is the same as the "departmental" interface? Anyway, sounds like providers are better off logging into MedHost to see what happened in the ED.

Thanks!

Gary

We are taking what the provider documents and importing it into MEDITECH via ITS import function. It occurs at chart lock. The report then shows up in EMR , but it is terrible to read and about 20 pages long.

ED docs love best of breed systems like MedHost and Ibex and their marketing departments reflect this by really hitting the ED docs hard.  However, the ongoing problem are the interfaces.  How updates to your different systems (LIS, RIS, PACS, pharmacy, HIM, coding, BAR) do you get a year?  How many updates will MedHost push into their system each year?  How many different permutations are there for things to "break?"  MedHost may show you a really fancy system that is very user friendly, but that also means that it is proportionally technically complex on the back end.  

I am an ED doc who was pulled kicking and screaming into using EDM.  I initially favored systems like MedHost and Ibex, but, after working with EDM and building in Meditech dictionaries for many years, I am convinced that an integrated enterprise solution is the best long term solution.  I think this is especially true of the small and medium sized community hospitals that is the core of the Meditech community.  You simply do not have the bandwidth to maintain all the interfaces.

If the ED docs really want MedHost, see if the ED docs and MedHost will put skin in the game.  Propose a chargeback method for interface maintenance to the docs.   See if MedHost will be willing to pay a penalty if their system doesn't play well with the enterprise.  I think I know what the answers will be.

Well , our outside providers offices can dial into our EMR and see the reports so we only have to give them access to EMR and that has an audit.
We dont give them access to Medhost so they have to learn another program , plus they would be able to see other patients while they were in there.

Yes Iatrics took the reports and forwards them to a import folder in a certain format . Meditech background import job comes along and picks up the report. Looks to import dictionary setting and creates the reports in ITS. Once created , they are sent across to EMR. Another draw back is if the wrong patient account is used, it fails and wont show up anywhere. Someone has to go into the import function , correct the account and it will import.

I'm working on an implementation with 6.05.

We are using Meditech NMI interfaces for most (ADT Out and In); BAR Charges In, Orders In/Out, Order Status Out, and ITS for documentation. I agree that ITS documents are cludgy, and site is considering use of SCA coldfeed.

Future plan is to use Iatric for interfacing discreet data elements (MT doesn't have inbound OM, nor EDM, AOM nor PCS - all areas where the elements need to be considered.)

Intent is to have all documentation necessary for Meditech to have the 'legal record', and report for Meaningful Use out of Meditech only.

Hope this helps,

To Dianna Machinn - "Since we updated to 5.65 we have lost our mapping for employees to flow from HR/PP to RM."

We are a 6.0 site. In order to map HR to RM we had to map the MIS Map Dictionary first:

INFO SYSTEM/MIS/DICTIONARIES/COMMUNICATION/MAP(NPR)

Create maps with the PP CODES > RM JOB CLASS and GL DEPT > RM DEPT, attach these maps to RM Customer Defined Parameters/Employee Upload in the Customer Defined Parameters dictionary.

Hope this helps,

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

We've had a few consultants review some of our complex protocols in preparation for POM. They are saying that these are too complex. We are trying to determine if anyone has successfully made this transition from paper.

An example is our potassium protocol. We are trying to see if the physician can order "PO potassium protocol to 4.5 PRN." The intention is that this could be placed on admission, reside somewhere and then the nurse would monitor the patient for a low potassium to trigger the protocol. The protocol itself is a set of MED orders and LAB. The potassium would be entered as a scheduled order for eMAR and is dependant on K+ and SCr levels. The timing of the LAB draw is dependant on the last administered dose and whether this is oral liquid or extended release tablet. If the result is still below the level of 4.5, then additional potassium is scheduled as a new MED order and the protocol repeats until the endpoint is reached. At that point, the PRN order would remain active so that the cycle can be restarted if necessary.

If anyone has a strategy to handle this, please outline or reply if willing to take a phone call.

We use ServiceDesk Plus here. It's a great tool that allows us to do all of our requests and asset management, along with knowledge base. Only IT currently use it here. It was originally designed for Engineering Shops but they have expanded it so that all areas can equally benefit from it. There is a Problems and a Changes section that we have dabbled with but not really used do to our small staff. Those two features though would work great for the other areas. We have tried in the past to move them into the software, however, they have been set in their old system.

Hi, all,


I need to ask for money again..... actually, call it beg for money. I
have not asked in quite some time, and the reserves ran out a long time
ago. If you have ever received any help from the meditech-l, please
consider donating some money to help keep it going. The meditech-l is
not owned/supported by any vendor. It is a private project, managed 100%
by volunteers (thanks to Lorna and Julia for keeping it going day to day).
Many years ago, when it was only 600 subscribers, I took it on as a
hobby.... funded the list totally from my pockets for years. As the list
grew (now, over 3700 subscribers), the list need more resources to keep it
running efficiently. No free service gave it the support and resources
needed to make it operate simply and efficiently, so the costs constantly
grew over the years. The interactive archive at MTUsers.net is starting
to demand more resources. I am at a point where I might have to take that
archive down or buy more resources to support it.

So, please dig deep and make a donation (even $5 helps....) Go to
MTUsers.net or MTUsers.com, click on "Help the L" and make a donation via
PayPal. It's safe, secure, and easy to use. If you want to send a check,
just email me at g...@MTUsers.net for info.



Thanks in advance.

If you happen to be a CAH (Critical Access Hospital), you would definitely need two account numbers for your Medicare patients.

I have asked this before but I continue to seek answers-

When you have a Medicare patient in the ED who becomes an inpatient are you creating a B account and moving charges after discharge? Do you have the claims set up to drop the outpatient charges on one claim and the inpatient on another?

To All CAHs who are dealing with this issue;.

We have been successful in working with MT on options for CAH facilities to retain the account number during the encounter/visit, and spit the account at the BAR level. This has proven to be very helpful with ED-Inpts, CPOE, PDOC, etc etc. We would with the sites clinical team and the BAR team on site.

When a patient reports at registration that they have an Advance Directive, but do not have a copy with them, we answer CDS queries with "Y" pt has advance directive and "N" copy on file.

How are other hospitals following up to ensure receipt of the Advance Directive document? We considered flagging as a chart deficiency, but are curious to see what others are doing for follow up... are you making calls after discharge or sending a letter to the patient requesting the document for your records?

Any thoughts are appreciated!

this is what we are also doing. If we cant convince , or it isnt appropriate for the provider to dial in and enter the orders, I believe
our staff are making them stay on the phone while nursing enters the order and indicates verbal.

It is hard enough to keep the doctor on the phone long enough to tell them what the problem is much less waiting to put an order in the computer. I wish you luck in your endeavors. It would be nice to see how it works out before we get to that point, which will be soon for us as well.

In my previous life as a nurse we were only starting to automate.. and I, as the charge nurse, took a lot of the telephone orders.. so I had to fill out all of the paper forms.. ugh..

In our current environment, we still have the nurse write out all of the tele orders... we scan meds to the pharmacy, and the rest get entered into the computer.

I don't know how this will be implemented.. but, as we shoot for 100% CPOE for all routine orders as of 12/31, we are hopeful that the # of these orders will go down.. not right away, but within 3-4 months as the doctors become more proficient and comfortable...

We are going to 6.1 next year.. we will at this point allow nurses to not write down the telephone orders.. the doctor will have to stay on the phone while the nurse enters them so that any alerts and conflicts can be resolved by the doctor. This will be the more interesting transition.!!

I have a few questions concerning Telephone/Verbal Orders from providers:


1) Do you make your RN's enter the orders into the system (for labs/rads/nursing/meds) or do they write them down and give them to the ward clerk to enter?

2) When/If you made entering these orders the nurses responsibility, how long did it take to roll it out?

3) What is your patient to RN ratio? Did you lower it during the transition?

4) How long did it take to get back to the normal ratios?

L-listers: we have a BacT Alert that is connected to our network via a xyplex termserver. We are in the process of converting this connection to use a Lantronix single device server. Is there anyone who is willing to share their lantronix device setup as well as tell us if the standard lantronix cable can be used or if a special adaptor is required? Thanks.

We use MEDHOST , we are C/S 5.65 , but were live with it on 5.64 . So far it is working for us. We do use Iatrics to interface to Meditech.

What are other sites doing when a physician or physician assistant

Do you have a policy from medical or executive allowing an individual to
emulate that provider and sign?
Do you add an alternate signer in the provider dictionary?

Hello Deignan;

We use a different program for this (not FA), but can you setup a dialing rule in your Modem configuration to not use an area code if = to your local area code? That way if the modem saw a dial string for (444) 123-4567 and 444 was your local area code, it would not dial it. This would let the full string be sent to the modem and allow the modem to decide if the area code was needed.

Subject: [MT-L] Prescription Faxing using Fax in RXM and Forward Advantage

We just hit a weird wall with faxing of scripts through Forward Advantage. We use Dr. First and the MIS Outside Location dictionary updates every night through that service. It's a national list that you load from so all the scripts for our local pharmacy's have the area code built in. FA, if we use this automatically updating list, won't work because they can only dial the number as it prints on the fax. We can import all of the pharmacies to the subscriber database, change the smart route to fax by name and keep the subscriber database updated manually. Seems crazy when we are buying a service to track that updating for us.

Has anyone figured out how to suppress the local area code on the RXM Fax Cover sheet?

Any advice appreciated.

(We do plan to transmit most scripts but sometimes for whatever reason we will need to fax).

we do have an interface with our glucometers. the nurse performs them and types in the correct acct number or picks it form patient list.
The glucose result goes to the glucometer server where it creates an order in lab . The result is then filed in lab automatically . the test appears in EMR under Miscellaneous bedside glucoses because the providers did not want them in with the other glucose results in chemistry.

If the controls are not run or the account number is wrong, the results dont cross to lab. Our glucometers are RALS and we have a meditech interface to do it .

We have glucometers and there was an interfaced purchased a while back that would download the results into the LAB. Our hospital chose not to do this b/c nursing said they wanted it to show up in NUR module.
Right now our nurses are documenting on and intervention and in EMAR. This creates discrepancies. How do other hospital chart accuchecks? I think the interface would be great to use and I am sure there is a way for it to show in NUR module, I just need some advice.

Well , our outside providers offices can dial into our EMR and see the reports so we only have to give them access to EMR and that has an audit.
We dont give them access to Medhost so they have to learn another program , plus they would be able to see other patients while they were in there.

Yes Iatrics took the reports and forwards them to a import folder in a certain format . Meditech background import job comes along and picks up the report. Looks to import dictionary setting and creates the reports in ITS. Once created , they are sent across to EMR. Another draw back is if the wrong patient account is used, it fails and wont show up anywhere. Someone has to go into the import function , correct the account and it will import.

Uggh. Yes, another responder said that the documentation was not good (they used a different word :) ) when it exports to Meditech. ITS is the same as the "departmental" interface? Anyway, sounds like providers are better off logging into MedHost to see what happened in the ED.

Is anyone having a problem generating a COB claim from MEDITECH when the primary payer has denied the claim and there are no RCP or ADJ transactions created on the account, only Remit Code transactions from the 835?

?

I know we had this problem in 4010, and MEDITECH fixed our problem by including ALL 835 data on a secondary claim whether or not there was a primary payer RCP and ADJ related to the 835 data.? But it now appears that 5010 has the same problem.

?

Thanks.
