Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
We would like to have documentation within the MAR of the date /time /location a medicated patch was removed without affecting nurses scan rates. For example, If a patch is to be placed at 0900 and removed 12 hours later - have a MAR entry for removal of patch as a way for nursing to be aware of the need for patch removal as well as easy documentation. Placing this is in the comments of the patch placement is not always possible as some patches require so much time off prior to placing a new patch.
In addition to patch removal, we would like to have a check on the MAR that the patch is still there/where it is located. Right now we have this on our assessment flowsheet, but the MAR would be better. Ideally, patch verification/location/removal would be part of the setup for the route "transdermal."
