Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

Pat,

We have a pathway/RFT that converts medication orders to dismissal instruction orders.  The retrieval in the pathway converts the med cat code to a different one for dismissal meds.  The RFT converts the route and schedule into lay terms (for the most part this is a combination of cat code/item #/literal checks in to RFT).

We do not convert med orders for prescriptions for discharge meds.

Please find attached the Final Dismissal Instruction RFTs (we do have several other's, which I can explain further if you are interested).  We print 2 copies of this RFT; one for the patient and one for the chart (the signed copy).

We too, are  E7000 (4.1) hospital, not Careminder.  

Feel free to call or e-mail me directly if you have further questions or would like more information.  

Kathy

1)  Is there anyone that has an RFT to convert Medical  orders to Discharge Orders that will also convert the terminology from BID to 2 times a day, or PO to Oral  etc. ?

2)  Is there anyone that has a user-friendly Discharge Instruction pathway.  We have a pathway in place but we are trying to make it more user-friendly for physicians and nurses?  We are E7000 (4.1) hospital, not Careminder.
