Dream Factory by TruBridge Ideas Portal
When I build order sets and enter PRN medications, there isn't an option or drop down to fill in PRN indications. In turn, if a provider uses the order set and chooses one of the PRN medications, they are then expected to use the drop down and select the PRN indication. If we could establish that in the order set build it would eliminate a step for providers.
Yes, this is needed! We just had a TJC survey and hopefully have missed having a finding that could be escalated to a major finding involving multiple PRN orders without indications. We would like to turn this feature on, but would like to clean up our order set table to have this addressed in the table so it could be pulled when the item is checked and NOT have to be reentered by the ordering provider or nurse when it is just placed in the comment section of the item.
We enter this in the instructions, however it does create an extra step for nursing to acknowledge the instructions
