Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
I would like it changed/noted that when administering medications, there should be a separate time frame that Thrive would require the nurse to rescan the hospital bracelet. Currently, a nurse may bypass this feature if they had previously scanned the hospital bracelet at an earlier period. Thrive will not require nurse to rescan the bracelet unless the chart is X'ed out. I would like to see after 10 minutes, that Thrive would require the bracelet to be rescanned before nursing can proceed for patient safety. A path was given to me to change the timing, but inturn, that created another issue.
The Pharmacy Timeout option does exactly this.
NOTE: In the Point of Care Control Maintenance Table on Page 6 (Tables > Clinical), there is an option for Pharmacy Timeout. If a number is added to this field, Medication Verification will timeout. When using Medication Verification and Thrive is left idle during the process, this field allows for a timeout in Medication Verification. In other words, the green check will disappear from the EMAR related to the time frame that is added in this box.
