Hi all, We are in the process of implementing MEDITECH for the 1st time and are going up with several modules. We recently received an upgrade to CS 5.5 that provides for the Code Status of a patient to be entered in POM and displayed in red on the patient header.
What we have discovered is that if a patient is a PRE ER patient and the Code Status order is processed, the status DOES NOT populate the header. It will however populate the Risk/Legal panel from the Summary Panel in the EMR We reported this as a problem with the enhancement because patients who have been received in the ED but not yet registered are patients at high risk of arresting. The nurse needs to know what the code status is ASAP. We were told that this wasn't an oversight and that they specifically left this out for a reason and up till now we have not had anyone ask about it. They suggested we submit an MTX request. My questions are: Have any other sites tested this new functionality? Do other sites see the benefit of having this available for PRE ER patients? Thanks!
