For our 4.9 upgrade, the theme was tropical. I sent out MOX messages with ASCII designs of palm trees, tropical fish, lobsters, etc. We put up posters using tropical colors and clip art and we bought tropical party favors at the local Dollar Tree and put something up in every department and nursing unit. For 5.4, we did "leavin' on the 5.4 plane" theme. We got patterns for paper air planes and had the implementation team build and fly their plane before bringing the meeting to order. (Yes, some people are scrooges and wouldn't participate, but . . . paper air planes can be dangerous in the wrong hands <grin>.) In PFS, I created "fish bowl" teams for projects, gave each member of a team a different fish personalized with her name and team (clip art in Power Point) and put smaller images of each fish into a fish bowl (again, clip art in Power Point) and printed them all for our bulletin board. This was loosely based on the same "fish" book that Ami mentioned (I think). One of our Access supervisors had just been to a seminar based on the whole fish market/throwing fish concept, so as we talked, the idea formed. I'm thinking that we'll copy Ami and try the fishing thing in the upcoming 5.5 release! That sounds very cool! Julia Chad - security was *very* tight! :-P Julia F.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Patti, Implementation slogans are a great way to get a positive spin on a not so pleasant install. I have used the book "Catch The Energy & Release the Potential - FISH" by Stephen C. Lundin for a slogan and then put fish everywhere. I did a whole poster for the implementation timeline with fishing rods, boats, and fish. Each time we would pass a phase a Fish would go in the boat. And, when someone did a great job they would get a Fish on the cubical. I know I am a dork but it worked to keep the hospital motivated and it was fun. Oh, and it is a good book too. Physician Mnemonic: Use six characters- first three letter of last name, first three letters of first name. The same name exceptions: Usually there is a different middle initial- but the approach below really helps ADM folks. Mnemonic Name DOEJOH1 Doe,John MD DOEJOH2 Doe,John A MD (note: no space after the comma) For JR, etc: Use the same mnemonic format, first three letter of last name, first three letters of first name.

Preferable a market install? 2) Did you go with the Meditech recommendation for the Provider Dictionary mnemonics? If not, what did you use for mnemonics and why? Thanks in advance!
