We have the PHA Drug Dx built the same way and use the Zero dose in 
Pharmacy. In QuickScripts, we have the Zero dose with default Dose 
Instruction as "Apply to". As far as I know, in POM, the Edit Dose box 
comes up anytime the default dose is Zero, regardless if you have a free 
text description there or not. By using "Apply to" in the dose 
description, our hope is that it will prompt the Prescriber to finish the 
thought and enter the site of application. We are still implementing POM, 
so I can't give you an estimate on how often that actually happens, but it 
does work.

Subject
[MEDITECH-L] PHA and POM for Ordering Topical Medications






For Magic sites using POM.  How are your Topical Medications (Ointments 
and Creams) built in the PHA drug dictionary?

We currently have ours built with the tube size as the strength (15 gm) 
and Pharmacy uses zero dosing with the application site in the dose 
instructions.  To build Quickscripts with this process we would need to 
include all possible application sites for the provider. 
In POM when a provider orders without a Quickscript they are asked for a 
dose in gm or gm/kg and dose instructions can also be built.  Does anyone 
have a better solution for POM?

Thanks,
Melissa
