In Centriq we were able to add hours or days to medications for a start time. Most helpful for 1. patients with multiple antibiotics - you could set the second antibiotic to start in 1 hour. Helps prevent late entry alerts also and also you could prioritize which one was first, second, etc. 2. when the dose changes on the second dose. For example for Group B strep the first Ampicillin dose is 2 gms and the subsequent doses are 1 gm - you could set that second dose to start in 4 hours.
Ability to starts meds in hours from now. Example: At present for alcohol detox patients if start reduced dose frequency in 1 day from now on that day they get double doses until the time the order set was used to enter the orders. This continues throughout the stay with extra doses showing on the MAR each day.
Ability to add a specific time frame to start the medication or even for Ancillary orders. We have drs wanting to do 6 hours from last lab draw to next lab draw
