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.

"Melissa Wyant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/28/2007 08:34 AM To <[email protected]> cc 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?
