Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
We would like medication orders for certain medications entered by pharmacy, nursing and physicians via the pharmacy or CPOE to require a stop date or a duration of therapy (# of days or doses).
Agree. The pharmacist verifying doesn't always get a date and a HARD STOP code entered during that initial verification process. The soft stop functionality does not work well for abx.
The offerings of a paper that prints that has meds that need renewed or discontinued OR having to convince staff to navigate to a screen they don't typically use and drill down some on certain buttons to see what is due for review are not good solutions to this.
The hard stop should be allowed to be built/created at the point of Order Entry!!
