Requesting development with weight-based medications so the EMR is intuitive enough to calculate the medication dose based on weight ( in MG and NOT ML's). Examples include Heparin drips, Insulin Drips, etc., This is a significant patient safety concern with high-risk medications.
This is a huge patient safety issue. Our providers have critical patients in the ER and have to calculate a dose, convert to mL then calculate a flow rate just to enter an order. That is absolutely ridiculous, it's 2024! Our providers are very frustrated.
This would be extremely helpful!
Is there any development with this?? Providers are becoming very frustrated!!
