I'm very interested in any replies. We are coming up with PHA (Magic 5.5 SR2) and having a devil of a time with dose-range checking. Meditech is working with us, but we've been a couple months on this issue. They installed a wide range of DTSs this last week, and the examples that were giving us grief (overalerting) have gone away, but I need to run a bevy of tests to see if it's really tamed. It seems that many of the loading and single-dose range checks failed to recognize that the total accumulation of a med was not the first or a single dose; we were getting warnings that the eight planned doses (or whatever) exceeded the total loading or single dose of 1. Not very useful, and certainly slows down order entry. I'm interested in the replies of the experienced, and Cindi, I'll let you know whether Meditech has indeed brought us to a point of tolerability. All I have to do is let my pharmacist in to enter some test orders and he's magic about finding more dose range problems...

We were wondering if there are any sites out there that are live with POM and PHA who utilize Dose Range Checking (either supplied by FSV or customized)? We are C/S 5.5.2, and very interested in making this work for us without OVERALERTING our providers. Thanks!
