[MEDITECH-L] Locking Down Meditech Screen Resolution Settings

[Thibodeau, Matthew]

Good Day,

 

I am inquiring the Meditech-L group to determine if there is a way to lock down the Screen Resolution settings for the Meditech 4.x clients.  We are trying to implement an iKey scripting solution here at St. Mary’s General Hospital and we have a need to prevent users from changing the client screen resolution from 800x600.  If anyone has had any experience with this please drop us a line, and thanks in advance for your help.

 

Regards,

 

Matt

Hey Matt,

 

The only way we've been able to "lock down" the client settings is by setting the readonly flag on the "T.ini" file in the Meditech directory.

You could possibly lock down the HKCU registry key in 'Software\Meditech\Wrkstn\SCREENSIZE'. Setting 'SCREENSIZE' to 'X' is equivalent to 800x600 ('S' is small, 'M' is medium). The MAGIC workstation reads this on launch, so locking it to 'X' would likely do the trick.

 

We've never done this, but I just found the key that changed. Let me know how you get on if you try it.

 

Regards,

 

Paul.

In newer versions of Workstation, I believe that the T.ini only contains printer information.  The rest of the info is in the registry.  To lock down the setting in the registry, try this: Make all users Standard (Restricted) Users.  Modify the Registry Key permissions for HKCU\Software\Meditech\Wrkstn\SCREENSIZE and give Users Read-Only access via a script or policy.

How is your facility documenting home medications?  Our physicians want a patient’s home meds listing available on Meditech.   We currently enter home meds that we have in our inventory and put them on hold.  This list is printed for the docs.  We have not entered meds that are not in our formulary, like Vicks Vaporub.  A list of every salve, med, etc is wanted and they want it attached to a current report that Iatrics wrote for us.  Before I approach Iatrics with this change, I want some input from other Meditech sites to know how other sites are handling the entry of meds not in their formulary. 

 

TIA,
