IV dose display

The MAR/ Order chronology need to display the dose that needs to be administered when an IV antibiotic or IV with a component rather in addition and more so than the flowrate. Not being able to see this at the front level and having to know (through extensive training/education) that the components is where you look for the dosage is a patient safety issue and sets the nurse up for failure and mistakes to be made. It should clearly show on the MAR

IV medication name mixed in IVF

Dose: 1000 mg in NS 50 mL

Flowrate: 100 ml/hr

AND the medication label that is printed out for this order should clearly say the dosage as well.

    Please proceed with fixing this. This causes issues almost every time we have an odd dose mixture. You realize med errors are a big problem in the medical community and an EMR system is supposed to reduce them. I state that what is described here is asking for a med error, in fact has been part of med errors in our facility. risk reduction is fix the source of the problem which is the EMAR display.

    One payer, with differences driven in the background by the "dept" using it.

    I am trying to understand why this is not important. But it is important to me so I am putting a comment on here that it is important to keep patients safe from medication errors and this is a system wide weakness that puts patients at risk.

    This is important and puts patients at risk, I want a phone call from a developer. I will keep placing comments on here to let you know this is important. See situation 9734942.

    Yeah, so I agree that 21.06.00 did not address this. It is only sligtly clearer once you get into the individual med. I am talking about the display when on the MAR seing all the meds needs to clearly display the dose.

    I have changed the status to Open to Comment. I jumped the gun stating 21.06 would address this. We will look at what needs to be done for this specific request.

    100% agree - not having the dose visible from the MAR requiring nursing to click open the order and view the components is not intuitive and can lead to a medication error.

    I believe that votes or no votes. This is a patient safety issue and putting off this upgrade puts patients at risk.

    This is a frequent request seen in Thrive Support as well as Centriq Migration facilities. This is seen not only as a way to improve workflow, but more importantly as a way to address a potential patient safety issue caused but this unsafe condition.
