[MT-L] Respiratory Protocols in patient record - C/S 5.66.2

[Parker, Peggy]

We are being told CMS requires a protocol to be a part of a patient’s permanent record if a protocol is ordered.  We have protocols built in PCS and attached to the intervention but because Meditech does not consider a protocol to be patient specific it is not included in their record.  What are other hospitals doing to include a protocol in a patient’s record?

 

Any information you can provide would be appreciated.

Does anyone have a “Patients Order Summary” report they would like to share? We need one without a “patient account filter”.

We are Client Server 5.66

All,

Boston Software Systems is a great vendor to work with. We’ve been using BWS (or Boston Workstation) for all our scripting needs for the last 7 years.

We recently found ourselves in a jam where we needed to update 30,000 records over the weekend (long story). They actually lent us 2 additional licenses to accomplish this. We ran the scripts on 5 pc’s concurrently, around the clock, and were done ahead of schedule.

***Their support is also top notch.

 

 

Thanks,

Hey Kevin-

I find myself wanting to chime in regarding scripting tools/solutions.  I have used several over the years – BWS (Boston Workstation), SST (Summit Healthcare Scripting Tool), AMP (Automate Pro – Network Solutions).  My short answer – Summit Healthcare.  Over the past several years, the sustainable and improving customer service from the Help Desk straight thru to the front line Sales Folks has been phenomenal.  The product line itself has improved as well – ease of use, sample scripts, etc.  If a Pharmacist can learn it…

Kevin.

[Anderson, Alex]

I agree with Kevin.  I have scripts running all day everyday using the Summit Healthcare Scripting Toolkit.  Support is terrific, it's very easy to use, and most importantly it's rock solid.

 

Thank you,

I’m with Kevin M. and Alex – I use SST (and Express Connect for Interfaces) and both are excellent and easy to use and Support is excellent.   From my experience, they do whatever they can to help you to accomplish what you need.  We had BWS before SST and the only reason we moved away from it was because SST was part of our EC purchase (to save on support contracts).  Although I had no issues with BWS, I do not regret our move.

We found that Summit, while a good product, is unable to script MEDITECH Magic NUI when tables are involved.  If you don’t have the new HR product, NUR, RXM, ELECTRONIC CHARTS in MRM, and other MT apps that use these tables, then it’s fine, but only BWS could prove to us during real time sessions that they could handle them using the OCR features in the software.  We looked at Ranorex, Summit, Iatrics,  AutoIt, among other tools.  I think we found out later that Automate can also do OCR, and that is key.   Boston can also script to and from other Windows applications, web pages, and other stuff, and not just MEDITECH so it can be used to script data from one system to another as well.  It’s best to know what your needs are, then have the vendors prove to you they can meet those needs via examples.  We set up three examples that they had to prove to us they could do, and only BWS meet all of them.
