Our providers are requesting some type of pop up notification when a med is needing renewed/stopped. They do not like the Pharmacy Folder due to this is our hospitalist group and they can not see orders on their patients that were ordered last week by the previous hospitalist for example and renewals will still continue to be missed. When you have multiple providers ordering on the same patients like with inpatient settings, this folder concept does not work. They need something that truly ALERTS them.
The providers are requesting a notification similar to when there are new orders needing verified. Something that alerts them as they are not always in order chronology and they are never in the MAR. Dr Coulter suggested an option in the top bar like the bell icon with a count on it when orders are needing updated.
There are two Task folders related to the Renew option.
Pharmacy Folder is for any provider on the Care Team.
Ordering Provider Folder shows the meds ordered by the logged in provider.
It sounds like you are correctly using the Pharmacy Folder for your Hospitalist group. Be sure you are adding them as a Hospitalist each time they change so they are on the Care Team.
Renew medications display in Yellow in the EMAR prior to their Renew Date giving a visual alert to nurses to communicate with the provider about the ordered medications.
Renew medications display the Renew Date in Red in Order Chronology in both Standard and Expanded views.
There is a Renew Orders filter in Order Chronology to show just the meds that need to be renewed.
Where else would you recommend a notification be added?
