This pop-up would happen every time the user manually enters a medication entry in the eMAR. This would make manual entry more effort than just scanning the medication like they are supposed to do. By making the manual (bad) process harder, we can encourage users to follow to safer method, which is scanning the medication. It is better to encourage the desired behavior in the interface than it is to rely on audits and write-ups to "correct" undesired behavior. As long as it is easier/faster to manually enter medications we will ALWAYS struggle with barcode scanning compliance issues.
This is such a fantastic and needed enhancement idea! We have some different clinical staff (Paramedics) working in our Emergency room and they are notorious for not scanning their medications during administration.
YES! Something definitely needs to be done about the ability to bypass the scanning process!
