Hello – We recently started using the transfer and receive function in POM. When a provider overrides or views the interaction the order is being held in nursing as unverified and does not cross to pharmacy until nursing acknowledges the order an sees the interactions. Meditech says this is the way it the transfer routine should be working. Has anyone found a way to NOT have nursing review the duplicates and interactions? What are other sites doing with this?

 

Thank you!

There is a focus group meeting as we speak to change the interaction checking to occur when physician first starts transfer routine rather than when nurse processes it…

UNV meds do not show up on the EMAR but will show up in ACK orders on the SB (we are magic).  Nurses are trained to not ACK UNV med orders until PHARMACY Verifies them. 

 

Pharmacy can see all UNV meds in PHA.  They are responsible for verifying.  Nurses ACK them prior to administration.

To clarify the TRANSFER part – our nurses do have to RECEIVE the orders first…then they flow to PHA as UNV meds.

We felt this was a major issue, but WAD.  I’m not sure if they are reviewing this for potential changes, but rather than hang the nurse when <receiving> orders while they fill in required override reasons, the option was to let it go to unvPHA which doesn’t flow to PHA and it is expected that nurses would pick up on this OE suspended order and address. 

 

We found this was NOT happening and orders where being “missed”.  Our option was to turn off interaction checking, which for pre-in patient situations (where we also use <transfer>), then known allergies can be skipped with that setup.  We didn’t like that option.

 

We decided to ultimately schedule a NPR report to run hourly and print to pharmacy searching for unvPHA orders and then the pharmacy addresses them in a “timely” manner.

Hi Tina,
We are Magic 5.66 and our nurses that receive the transfer do not see the Interaction or Duplicate checking.  We created a MIS Interaction/Conflict group specific for Nursing and transfer with all of the prompts set to "N".

This interaction/Conflict group is attached in the OE Access Dictionary for the nurses on page  one under the MIS Interact/Conflict Group Receiving a Transfer section.
 
This will prevent the users in this access group from seeing the interaction checking when they receive the transfers.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Melissa

As the transfer routine is set up right now…that would just mean that no one would see the interactions and conflicts, correct?   Maybe I am just not understanding it correctly.  Because the way the transfer routine is set up at this moment (my understanding at least) is that orders do not go through conflict checking until they are saved…so when the doctor first starts ordered in transfer and sets all their orders up, no conflicts will show.  Then if you have it set the way you do, the nurse processes the transfer and does not get any conflicts upon saving, so now who figures out that the patient is allergic to PCN and was ordered amoxicillin?  Or has hx of recent epidural and your ordering Coumadin….or lovenox.   Not questioning what you’re doing, just trying to get it straight in my head.   Thanks so much…

Hi Judith,
The Conflict group only impacts the Receive of the Transfer not placing the transfer orders.  For meds that are continued on Transfer the provider does not see the interaction checking again because this has already been addressed when the order is initially placed.  If new medications are ordered as part of the transfer process the provider will get all of the Allergy/Interaction/Duplicate checking prompts when they place the orders.  The pharmacy will also see the same interactions when they verify the new orders.
 
One thing that may make a different in how this functions for sites is the "Create New Orders Upon Transfer" OE Parameter.  We have ours set to "N."  Our facility determined that this was the best flow for continuing the same order and being able to determine how long someone was on a medication and when doses were given.  The PHA Audit trail for the order records that it was either continued or discontinued on transfer.  We also have the pharmacy set up to be flagged to Review all orders that are continued on Transfer.
Hope this explanation helps,
Melissa

We have also created a separate Interaction/conflict group for receiving transfers.  The nurse will have a different Interaction/conflict group for POM so he/she will get interaction checking when entering medication orders.

The provider does not get interaction checking when he/she continues meds in the transfer routine.  He/she will get interaction checking if any new medications are added to the transfer.  The nurse will not get any interaction checking when receiving the transfer.  Then the pharmacist will get the warnings when verifying the orders.

 

We are MAGIC 5.66 pp2.  In the OE access dictionary, we have two fields for interaction checking under the heading MIS Interaction/Conflict Group.  “POE” and “Receiving a Transfer” that allow different Interaction/Conflict checking by access group.
