We offer a few different audits related to medication entries.
Barnestorm Office > Reports > Audit > 07.04 Medication Changes
A – Medication Changes With No Orders Within __ Days
This report will pull up patients that had medications entered in the Med Histories screen, but did not have an order entered timely. You can choose the number of days, up to nine, to select how long between the medication entry and verbal order entry. This report compares the date the medication change was entered to the date the verbal order was entered. If the number of days is greater than the number you chose, the patient, medication start date, medication name and the date the medication was entered into Barnestorm will appear in the report.
Items that need to match up from Order to Med History are: 1) Spelling of the medication name. If the medication is misspelled in the verbal order then it will not match up to the medication name in the med histories. 2) Employee 3) Doctor.
The From and Thru dates pull the medication Start Date.
There's an option to Skip orders that are discontinuing medications. Check the box for Skip STOP orders to leave those entries off the report.
B – Medication Changes Made During the Selected Dates
This report simply pulls up any medication changes that have been entered between the From and Thru date.
C - List of Future Med Changes
This report will ignore the From and Thru dates you have selected and pull up any future medication entries. Use this to audit entries entered by mistake or to view medications that have been entered ahead of time (ie. antibiotics).
D - Active Patients With Med Names That Are No Longer Valid
This report will ignore the From and Thru dates you have selected and pull up any active patient with the medication information; patients name, start date, medicine name, employee and doctor.
E - Active Patients With Duplicated Medications
This report will ignore the From and Thru dates you have selected and look through any active patient that has a duplicated medication entry. An example would be for medications that have an entry for both brand name and generic.
