Problem
|
| Protocol orders often have due times that are relative to a preceding event, such as the start time of the protocol which may itself be a dynamic event: "Begin protocol X after WBC results received from Lab". Once a Protocol and its components are initiated and scheduled, Series 7000 does not have the functionality to permit a user to globally change absolute due times (for example, to delay all future medications doses by 2 hours). To further compound the problem, clinicians cannot always predict when a protocol will be initiated and once initiated any number of mitigating circumstances can result in the need to delay the entire protocol or any remaining orders and / or doses.
This means that a change in start times or a delay in therapy results in the need for a user to individually adjust the administration time of all subsequent orders.
|
Due to these shortcomings many facilities elect to assign miscellaneous schedules to ordered protocols, which introduces an entire different set of issues. Not using "interpretive schedules" within Series 7000 means that the clinicians become responsible for managing the execution of the orders within a protocol manually, since when using miscellaneous schedule the system can no longer provide the schedule management.

Solution
|
The UYS Protocol Schedule Manager assists in the management of all orders within a Protocol,
providing the capability to globally adjust administration times of Protocols. This Tool saves valuable clinician time, improves response and decreases errors with increased accuracy and eliminating potential omissions.
