Michele,
We are in the midst of going live with Medication
Reconciliation using the RXM module. We are Magic 5.5 SR1 Soon to go
live with Magic 5.6 SR1. I have 4 forms written in report writer. The
first acts as an Admission form that is filled out within 24 hours of
admission and contains the list of home meds as well as the list of
current inpatient medications. There is a transfer form that we use for
patients going to surgery or onto or off of ICU. The third form is a
physician discharge form. This prints off the home medications and
inpatient medications and the physician marks what they want changed,
then the nurse edits the RXM Module and prints out the fourth form which
is the patient discharge form that list the Home Medications from the
RXM module. The nurse and physician response has been much more positive
that I would have initially thought. Entering the medication is actually
not that big of a deal. In 5.6 there are a lot of enhancements I have
been able to really enhance the reports that come out because MediTech
has populated more fields in RXM. The SIG field is not populated in 5.5
so you cannot take the SIG of TID and have the report say "three times a
day" because there is not field to key off of. Now we are having the
nurse type this out in the "comments" field instead of using the SIG
field. So, if you plan on going to 5.6 anytime soon and it is feasible
to hold off, I would recommend holding out for 5.6. It is definitely
do-able in 5.5, but 5.6 is much easier to work in.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Med Reconciliation
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with using the Historical
Med Routine for Med Reconciliation?
We are attempting to work through the processes here but have not gotten
a lot of info from MT except a "Partial presentation" that stops at the
beginning of how to document pts home meds via RXM. It tells you how to
look up a drug to add then it stops. We are wondering how to do the Home
Med list and make it present in NUR. Etc....
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
