What I am wondering is if there are any sites that train ALL employees
and

not just nurses. For those employees that only have access to email,
does

your hospital education department show them how to access email? For
the

other clinical areas such as Lab, RAD, Rehab, etc., does the hospital

education department train or is that left up to the individual

departments to train them on those modules?

[MEDITECH-L] Training staff and students

We hold a monthly training session for new employees this is generally

during their orientation phase. This led by myself and another analyst

who are both RN's who brought NUR/PCS up. As far as our students, we
give

them access to document but it is up to their instructors to train them.
I

reserve the training lab for them and give them a manual. We have too

many rotations of students to dedicate specific training days for them.

This is a very old problem, but we can't seem to get it working well.

How are you setting up your OE/LAB ordering so that a series of three

occult bloods on the same day or different days only charges once? We

have tried different solutions, but nothing is totally satisfactory.

Does someone have a rule that works?

We just upgraded to Meditech Magic Scanning/Archiving 5.61 from ChartOne

On May 5th. Our facility has scanned since 2006 and the users were

already familiar with the scanning process.

It's nice because now we have just one system to view all documentation;

don't need another log on info to scan and/or view. You can view
scanned

images through PCI, ABS, BAR, and MRI module. According to our HIM
dept,

the analyzing portion of to assign physician deficiencies is very user

friendly. Deficiencies are removed in real-time from "Incomplete

Records."

Some of the issues/problems: We are having an issue with the background

jobs catching up and getting in sync. That being said, it has only been
a

week since we turned the system live and there are thousands of bkg jobs

needing to process from about 8 modules. It's not that the images are
not

showing up, it takes some time before some of the images become
available.

We have run into an issue with outside physicians not being able to see

the scanned documents due to needing permissions to the server. Our

network administrator has created a script which we will provide to

"outside" users which will add that particular IP to their host file.
So

essentially this is fixed we just need to push it out.

Just small things have come up but nothing that is a show stopper.

All-in-all the GoLive went smoothly. My biggest advice would be to

concentrate on the Forms Dictionary build because that can be the most

problematic if you decide to make changes after GoLive.

Hope that helps and you can contact me at any time.

We have instructor-lead training for nursing personnel and respiratory

conducts

the training. There is a competency, but I don't think they give a test.

They give them a list of tasks to do-enter orders, document care, etc

based on their position. They can work at their own pace and the

instructor checks what they did when they complete their tasks. Their

training is reinforced when they are released from orientation to their

preceptor.

Pharmacy, Radiology and Lab conduct their own training on the job.

Ooo, using a BAR CD Query... is it setup for Demo Recall?

I'm trying to find a solution to the no publicity patients, but don't

this as an ADM question.

We have 6 hospitals (soon to be 7) in our multi-entity ADM/BAR/ABS.
Does

this BAR prompt work across all facilities?

<please please?> Does it work when the patients say "I never want one
of

these *** surveys from you ever again...?

If multi-entity, do you have each hospital with their own surveys? (we

do).

I also just finished up surveys for LSS, same questions apply with no

publicity patients...

Hi Scott,

We use PG here at CMH and got the new requirements for the HCAHPS
survey.

After I read them and said "Huh?", I then talked with our rep at PG and
we

are to send patient info on all our inpatients except Expired patients,

newborns and No Publicity patients. PG then sorts out which ones are

eligible to survey.

He defined the No publicity patient as any patient that asks not to be

surveyed. We do not have to ask them if they want a survey or not, but
if

they request not to be we need to record that.

We also need to be able to supply to PG a count how many of these

exceptions we did not send for any given date at PG's request.

I've attached two reports, written in magic 5.61, that we use. The pg
data

report is the data file we ftp to PG. The other is a summary report of

the excluded patients.

They have not yet asked us for that.

I made a customer defiled query that was added the B/AR other questions

CDS for No Publicity patients. It is a Y/N query. We have not used it

yet, but it is available if needed. Our Patient Representative, or PR

department, is responsible for maintaining that and all patient
concerns.

We scripted a download and ftp of the data file weekly. That is all that

IS does here for it, other than try to translate the new regs when they

come out to be sure our data is complete. Did you ever read HCAHPS

documentation?

You would need to change the discharge dispositions for expired patients

on the selects and the query name for the no publicity in the computed

field.

Hope this helps.

1. No

2. Students are taught by their instructor (Who happen to be employees

here during the summer months)

New Employees are taught how to sign in and MOX bu our Education Dept.

All other training is done by the staff person's preceptor/manager.

3. No test

If I had my way, Nursing and Scheduling training would be centralized

and done by IT with an exam after, before they get access...but we don't

have the staff for that.

How are other hospital labs handling "hemolyzed" specimens that were

CBN? My lab insists that they have to cancel the test so that they can

track the old specimen and new specimen. They're also concerned about

turn around time.

I see the "Unreceive" specimen routine - but am concerned this would

negate the old specimen and lab wouldn't have this information. I also

see the "Recollect" feature but it looks like this is after the fact.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

This is a very old problem, but we can't seem to get it working well.

How are you setting up your OE/LAB ordering so that a series of three

Hi there,

You don't need the IF statement embedded within the IFE. I have an

attribute that is very similar:

IFE=(@.user$3="PSY")!(@.user$3="MIS")

This one stops at the query if the user mnemonic begins with PSY or MIS.

Checking @.user against 10 different mnemonics should fit within the 255

character limitation. If not, you can assign @.user to a local

variable. I.e.

IFE=(@.user^US="ABC")!(US="DEF")!(US="GHI")!(US="JKL") etc.

I hope this helps,

Yes, it is set up for Demo recall.

I can't say for sure that it carries over to other facilities, but in my

mind it should. I'd set it up in test and see. We only have the one

inpatient facility.

I put it in B/AR because the Patient Rep has access to B/AR and they did

not

want admissions to be answering that question. You could use the same

query

in a ADM screen and see it both places.

It does work for not sending any more surveys. We just told our
admissions

survey.

Hi Scott,

We use PG here at CMH and got the new requirements for the HCAHPS
survey.

After I read them and said "Huh?", I then talked with our rep at PG and
we

are to send patient info on all our inpatients except Expired patients,

newborns and No Publicity patients. PG then sorts out which ones are

eligible to survey.

He defined the No publicity patient as any patient that asks not to be

surveyed. We do not have to ask them if they want a survey or not, but
if

they request not to be we need to record that.

We also need to be able to supply to PG a count how many of these

exceptions

we did not send for any given date at PG's request.

I've attached two reports, written in magic 5.61, that we use. The pg
data

report is the data file we ftp to PG. The other is a summary report of

the

excluded patients.

They have not yet asked us for that.

I made a customer defiled query that was added the B/AR other questions

CDS

for No Publicity patients. It is a Y/N query. We have not used it yet,

but

it is available if needed. Our Patient Representative, or PR
department,

responsible for maintaining that and all patient concerns.

We scripted a download and ftp of the data file weekly. That is all that

does here for it, other than try to translate the new regs when they
come

out to be sure our data is complete. Did you ever read HCAHPS

documentation?

You would need to change the discharge dispositions for expired patients

the selects and the query name for the no publicity in the computed
field.

Hope this helps.

If you do stock them in your Omnicells how are they set up in the drug

We do not use bogus names in LIVE. We can mark patients as confidential

. Users who do not have "access to confidential patients marked as Y" in

MEDITECH user dictionary will not see the patient, but this sometimes

can affect patient care.

Generally all patients are to be treated as confidental. If someone

abuses that they can be fired and have been in the past. Our corporate

compliance person takes care of this issue.

Hi All, I am wondering if those of you that do Clinical Documentation

online, have you considered moving to 'abbreviation free' documentation

forms. In Ontario, and I am sure, all over North America there is a big

push to eliminate abbreviations altogether from medication documentation

and we are starting to see the same thread weaving through the nursing

documentation issues.

We haven't started our build yet and I was wondering what your
experiences

have been?

I just wanted to comment. I see posts about recall every so often and
even

get requests from internal departments about disabling the F5 key.

Whatever happened to holding people accountable for their actions. This
is

false documentation. If users are mindlessly using the recall key they

need to be educated and if it continues then disciplined. I have heard
all

the excuses in the book about why people do it. It just boils down to

users not paying attention to what they are doing and not caring about
the

quality of their work. This should not be tolerated especially in

healthcare where people's lives are in our hands. I guarantee you the

individuals who are abusing this tool are doing the same in other areas
of

care also.

It seems we spend too much time putting things in place to compensate
for

a few individuals when the majority do care. We should be spending this

time helping these individuals and not trying to compensate for the
users

who fail to comply. I see a trend in healthcare that I am not liking. It

seems department managers don't want to manage their people. They want
IT

systems to do this. I will get off my soapbox. I just had do get this
out.

Sometimes I wonder if it is just me. Thanks Doug

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] SSNs on Registration Screens

I am wondering how other facilities are handling the gathering and usage

of patient SSN's.

I've recently been questioned by our executive team and board members as

to why we continue to ask for the patient's SSN at registration when

other systems have stopped this process. They would like to have all

SSNs removed from registration screens and reports. At this particular

point in time, we are still using SSNs to make an absolute patient

identification when names, addresses and birthdates are questionable.

We use the SSN for insurance authorization and billing, especially for

Medicare. We also use a claim scrubber, report to OSHPD and transmit

MDSs, all of which I believe an SSN is still required.

I've masked the SSN on the patient face sheets and asking Meditech if

they could remove the field from the registration screens to which their

response was 'No, not at this time.' But I could request what might be

an expensive customization to do so. For the reasons stated above,

however, we would still need to collect the SSN from the patient in some

form or fashion.

Our admitting and billing department feel very strongly that we do not

discontinue this process as it is vital information to their department

workflows. We all sign security and confidentiality agreements and we

audit patient activity, but this doesn't seem to be enough for the

executives.

Any suggestions from someone who has dealt with and resolved this

problem would be appreciated.

Richard,

I would write the fragment in LAB.L.SPEC, and put it in a detail line on

your PHA.RX report using a Line Attribute like this:

LC=@patient^/R.URN,%Z.rw.fragment("LAB.L.SPEC.zcus.wb.cr.frag.R","LAB.FL
H"),

Your lab report would look like this:

Detail DPM LAB.L.SPEC Detail Segment

lab.l.spec.result.tests

Index DPM LAB.L.SPEC Index File

lab.spec.l.patient.index

sorts:

collection.date ASC NONE N

prefix ASC NONE N

number.part ASC NONE N

urn ASC NONE N

test ASC NONE N

selects:

patient EQ

/R.URN

test's.mnemonic EQ

"+CRE"

status EQ

"COMP"

collection.date GE

(%Z.date.add(@.today,0-1))

and picture:

test -resul collection.da

Our report is looking at any creatinine's for today or yesterday. And
you

could probably put in a calculator for the creatinine clearance.

Bill

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Pha.rx report - need to add creatinine

We are using Magic 5.61. I have a PHA.RX report that selects just a

couple of drugs for a specific date and lists the patients on that drug.

Anyway, the pharmacist want me to add the "Serium Creatinine Clearance"

and the date that was taken. I understand this value comes from LAB.

So far I've only worked in PHA. I think I'm going to need to write a

fragment, but I'm not sure where in lab to find these fields. I would

appreciate any instructions to get these 2 field onto my report.

Thanks

Thank You Doug!!!! I have vehemently argued the same here. Since I
have

been fortunate enough to be able to understand how to use attributes to
do

many things.... I am frequently being asked by managers to "prevent them

from......" I am increasingly becoming frustrated by having to add
things

that are a pain for those who use Meditech well just to try to prevent

laziness, or in a few cases just plain stupidity!

And the truth of the matter..... you can't prevent laziness or
stupidity!

Like you, I believe we need to hold the offenders accountable and design

the system to HELP those that want to use it well!
