Currently the only way a nurse is alerted of a pain re-assessment after giving a pain medicine to a patient is if they happen to open the MAR and see the color corresponding to an overdue assessment. With TWC being developed and the push to move nursing into TWC and out of TUX, a pop up alert needs to be created that could be used for various nursing tasks. With the new cards created for Nursing in PDC one of those should be a card that would enable nurses to see an alert and have the ability to take action. Or a popup that opens on the side of whatever screen they're on in the EMR that alerts them to a task that's due.
Yes, but as I recently found out from a Med/Surg nurse, the TB notification is misleading. I was told that if a patient is transferred from one department to another and the icon is there due to an administration given before transferring, it's useless as a notification. Even if the nurse who currently has the patient completes the reassessments on medications she/he administered, the icon stays.
The issue related to the Med Reassessment is available on the 21.06 release as a notification from the Tracking Board.
Thanks for this request. We always have a finding with TJC/State regarding reassessment for pain after giving meds even though in MAR it is orange. It will be nice for the system to capture these items and will have a message also when the clinician logoff.
Onsite with Migration Optimization -- site needs ability to run report or other means to identify all instances where there is an Overdue Med Response that has not yet been documented against.
Currently they have to enter into each individual MAR to determine if there are ones that still need to be addressed.
