Require Vital Sign before medication is administered

Would love to be able to make it a hard stop to require nurses to enter HR or BP before any amio or beta blockers are administered. This would help keep patients from bottoming out if vitals are already running low

    Great idea! This would definitely need to be programmed as item specific and not just an on/off facility switch like so many of the other enhancements that have been added for medication management.

    Yes, please! This would be great for infusions that require constant blood pressure monitoring. Our nurses document both the titration and BP every 15 minutes for some medications and this would be so helpful for their workflow if they can enter the vitals in the same screen as the titration edit - that and the blood pressure entered there should pull into the vital signs application.

    This function is needed by nurses to ensure medications are not given in error.

    Definitely agree that this functionality would be helpful for documenting the VS were acknowledged prior to administration.
