How are those of you who are live with the e-MAR having the nurses
document
IV rate changes? It looks the only option is to document in nursing. I
firmly believe that Meditech needs to create a function where you can
document each rate change against the med. Possibly re-scanning the med
under this function and enter the new rate? Also, how are you handling
rate
changes for drips that are based on an algorithm such as a heparin drip?
Is
nursing expected to notify pharmacy each time that they have changed a
rate
and pharmacy in turn edit the rate?

Thanks,

Charlie

We are implementing Clinical Review and I have a question.

In the orders history section, there are a lot of orders showing that we
would like to exclude. For instance RT charges, forms on line, Pharmacy
bulk medications.

Have any of you been able to exclude these from showing in the orders
history section of Clinical Review?

Any help would be appreciated

Hi All,

Just looking to find feedback on how other facilities are handling the
situation below, any and all responses on how your organization goes
about this process would be appreciated.

We are wondering how anyone handles the 'multiple orders for the same
patient on the same day' problem, along with you deal with the
distribution of the results (on paper or electronically) for those
patients.

Do you create two account numbers and then manually combine them on the
'back end' for billing purposes?

Do you create one account number and make the departments responsible?

Anything on this process in relations to the Admissions, Laboratory and
Radiology Departments are all greatly welcomed for our folks here to
reference.

As always thanks in advance!

Hi Charlie,

We went up a unit at a time and it worked great. Meditech ran the
Copy/Edit utility for each unit's go-live. We started with a unit that
didn't transfer patients and then went to ICU. Once ICU was up for a
couple of weeks we did all of MedSurg. We are working on ED and PACU now
- trying to get the dispensing machine interface to work. Respiratory
therapy went up on all units from day 1.

The nice thing about going up a unit at a time is you can concentrate
your resources.

Thanks,

The nurses in my facility are up in arms that we can't create a drop

Example - pt was in dialysis when morning meds were due; now 2 hours
later, nurse is administering the medications and needs to show why the
meds were given beyond the variance time (for risk management)

Other than using CTRL-C to copy and CTRL-V to paste - has anybody else
found a way to make it easier for nurses to enter identical admin
comments on multiple medications? Or do you have another way with
dealing with this type of situation that is easy for the nurses to do?
I would be very appreciative of any help.

We are e-MAR only not BMV. We went live with E-MAR at the same time as
documentation.

We went live with all new admits on all in-patient units. We marked the
spines of the hard copy records "PAPER CHART" If the patient was
admitted on paper, we discharged them on paper. Since we had never
documented electronically this was good for staff to transition into the
computer charting with 1-2 patients the first day, then by the end of
the week, most of their patients were electronic.

Then as patients were admitted, their clinical documentation and e-MAR
was electronic. This way as patient's transferred from ICU to other
units they didn't have to transition from a paper MAR to eMAR.

Respiratory went live all at once with all patients and printed every
assessment which the secretaries filed on the "Paper Chart" records for
the first 2 weeks, then we converted anyone left on paper to electronic
charting (there were 3 long term patients left)

After the in-patient patients were electronic, we then added the Skilled
nursing unit and outpatient areas (pre-admit, cath lab and infusion
clinic)

When (if) we ever do BMV, I look forward to doing that one unit at a
time.

Has anyone implemented e-MAR/BMV in stages? For example one unit every
week until they are all live? I know that it would be problematic when
patients are transferred from an e-MAR/BMV unit to one that isn't and
visa versa, but would like to know specific problems and the solutions.
Also, if you did this and it didn't work, the hows and whys.

Hello,

This is a question for the Virginia Hospitals that have had to

reports. I have had short notice on creating this report for the
Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association and I am really behind on
collecting the first and 2nd quarter data under the new UB-04 guideline
(my reports are still using the UB-92 format). If anyone has these new
reports created (in magic) and are currently sending updated UB-04
inpatient and outpatient data to HIDI please contact me. I could use
some help with my reports.

We are a Magic site and you can use a reason code such as "DIALYSIS" or
"OFF UNIT". Typically these are reserved for instances where the med is
not given but at least this could be a consistent approach. With BMV,
you would likely have to click on the time to add the reason code after
scanning. Not an elegant solution but at least the information would be
stored with the administration in a hard-coded format which might make
reporting easier later.

If you want to stick with the Admin Comments, you can create a mnemonic
in Canned Text in PHA based on a mnemonic. The nurse would have to hit
F4 and then type the code as free text. We are Magic so I am not sure if
this is possible in C/S.

Charlie,

For the Heparin, PCA's and other Critical Care drips we use Titrate as a
rate and have the Average Rate defined for each drug on page 9 of the
drug dictionary. The Titration parameters (Starting rate, Max rate,
Titrate to Keep, and Hold parameters are all part of an Admin Criteria
CDS. There are some issues because the med shows up on the eMAR based
on the Average Rate setting. Our nurses only document on the eMAR when
they hang a new bag so they will often need to document the time as not
given or document an unscheduled time because the hang time is off. We
do not allow nurses to adjust any medication times.

Rate changes for IV fluids are done using a Nursing Intervention . For
Critical Care infusions our nurses were automated (using Iatrics Visual
Flow sheet) but switched back to a manual form about a year ago. They
will be going back to an electronic version in the near future.

Do any of you have nursing entering pharmacy orders after hours? I would

appreciate any input. We currently have only 2 pharmacists (and are
lucky to
have that). We are critical access so we don't have a ton of business
after
hours.
Good and bad experiences welcomed.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
We are a magic 5.61 hospital and I'm wondering if anyone has a
statistical NPR report in Scheduling to track physician referrals for
specific outpatient appointments that they're willing to share. As
always, any help is greatly appreciated!

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

Hi all-

Can someone help me out here regarding the Datamax printers.

We are CS 5.62 and I am having a terrible time getting the Datamax Label
printers to the way I want.

I am only able to select a few fonts that print, even though I am
specifying a different font in my label fragments.

I am unable to get any bold face print with any font or font size I
select even though the fragment has this information.

I am unable to get more than one copy of a label to print. I am trying
to have 2 labels print for my prescription labels.

I will note, I use an old Zebra printer to print Cart Labels and have
not problems printing fonts or boldface.

I have not tried printing 2 labels on this printer.

I have tried what MT has in their KB articles about fonts, bold facing,
and printing multiple copies but all to no avail.

Are changes required on the Datamax printer itself? Does anyone have
label fragments that print bold face fonts or multiple copies I could
compare my label fragments to?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

George Carrico, RPh

I have had exposure to both Kronos and Report Xpress. Kronos is way

if it is more expensive than Xpress, it might be worth it..

by Chuck Waterbury, from Iatric Systems.

If you are interested in sending anyone to this class, and therefore
sharing in the cost, please let me know. The total cost of the class
will be divided up amongst all of the participating hospitals, on a cost
per attendee basis. The total cost of the class will likely be in the
$3000-3500 range. Iatric Systems will invoice each hospital directly,
based on the number of attendees each sends.

In order to reserve slots, I will need a firm commitment by providing
the names, titles, and contact information of those you will be sending.

This is resolved via the BAR Panels. You create unique Claim Maps which
can either "compress" a CPT Panel (many>one), or "expand" (one>many) it.

There is a prompt in the Claim Map dictionary to indicate it is a
'panel'. I believe you need to coordinate with your Meditech BAR or CL
Specialists, also there is a KB Article (9400) on it.
Just search the KB, for BAR and Panels, I received 10 items for my
search.

Message-ID:

<29DC3A8593BBC94E9077...@SE-EXCHANGE.sehosp.org>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

We are Magic 5.61 "Pharmacy". And I've created a label and would like
to print copies to a Datamax-I thermal printer.

I've tried using the "AL PRINT (D(27)_"&l"_c.xx.copies_"X")^!", but
that's for HP printers.

I have one label/report already "created by someone else" that prints
copies just fine to my datamax printers. But I can't incorporate it to
my new npr report. And if I edit the LC it won't let me save the LC,
but yet it works.

I got this out of the datamax manual:

*** BEGIN QUOTE
*************************************************************

This command sets the number of the label copies to be printed. A one to
five

digit value is allowed, if the command is delimited by a carriage return
<CR>.

This permits host applications to generate label quantity commands
without the

need to pad leading zeros. (A four-digit command value does not need to
be <CR>

terminated.)

Syntax: Qnnnnn

Where: nnnnn - Is a one to five-digit delimited value setting for the
number of

labels to be printed. The default value is one.

Sample: <STX>L

121100000000000Testing<CR>

Q0020<CR>

E<CR>

The sample will print a batch of 20 identical labels.

*** END QUOTE
***************************************************************

Can I adjust the "AL PRINT (D(27)_"&l"_c.xx.copies_"X")^!" somehow to
use the escape code above? And if so - how?

Or is there someway to do a "DO LOOP" to print copies to my existing
label to the datamax? It's a very simple npr report - I just need
copies. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm working with our case management department to improve their
information gathering & tracking. One of the areas that we're not sure
we're collecting everything we need is the denial & appeal tracking.

If your case management department is using the denial & appealing
tracking in the UR sub-module in ABS, could you share your process? If
you're using a CDS there, could you share it, as well?
