NEED A WAY TO KNOW WHEN MEDICATION REASSESSMENT GENERATED AND IN WHAT DEPARTMENT

Nurses, no matter what department they work in are generally very busy throughout the day. In situations that involve a patient admission from the ER or a transfer from another unit, there needs to be a way for nurses to know which Med reassessments they're responsible for addressing. I've had M/S nurses tell me they ignore the new med reassessment icon; because too many times it's related to a medication that was given in a previous department before they arrived on the M/S floor. A way to indicate which is which would be a great enhancement. Maybe a badge that populates on the icon for reassessments when meds are administered in the current department vs a previous location? If the reassessment is from a previous location, the ability to set an expiration on the reassessment would be useful as well. At the moment, the icon remains on the board indefinitely!

    As a nurse, should it matter who gave the medication or what department if the patient should be assessed for the medication response?
