Setting up Clinical Monitoring Utilizing Meditech

Clinical Decision Supportvs.

Clinical Surveillance

Clinical Decision Support

Decision Support focuses on making

the appropriate choices for a therapy

at a given point in time

Clinical Surveillance

Clinical Surveillance focuses on

maintaining the appropriate therapy

for an ongoing period of time

Today’s Goal

• To expand our understanding on how to allow the system to assist in routine surveillance opportunities by imbedding triggers into the system

• How to optimize your system to take advantage of these opportunities

• Step by Step instructions

Surveillance Survey

• What are you doing now?

• What else should you be doing?

• What will it take to get to the next level?

Surveillance

• Determine what needs to be “watched”

• Establish Surveillance Opportunities

• Understand the clinical parameters

• Evaluate the system’s ability to capture and relay data

• Batch vs. Real-time surveillance –(levels of sophistication)

Surveillance Opportunities

• Patient Demographics• Renal Dosing• Antimicrobial Therapy Monitoring• A.D.E. / Black Box Warning Monitoring• IV to PO Conversion• Drug Disease Interactions• Non-Pharmacy Opportunities• Pharamcogenomic contraindications

Methodology

• The system contains patient specific data.

• The Clinician works with specific triggers of evidence.

• By embedding the triggers into the system it can provide surveillance to streamline the clinician processes

Understanding

  By utilizing sophisticated clinical rules and reports to identify potential drug problems, monitor laboratory values and alert the clinician to potential patient risks.  You can leverage your current Meditech system to protect patients against potential adverse events and improve patient outcomes

Tools for embedding"KNOWLEDGE"

Customer Defined Screens • Pharmacy• Admissions• Nursing (NUR – PCS)• ITS - Radiology• Other modules

Added Sophistication

• Utilizing Rules linked to fields on a Customer Defined Screen (CDS).

• Activating rules by selecting appropriate fields on the CDS.

Global Rules are attached in the Customer Defined Parameters

Medication ScreenCDS

• PHA DRUG type screen• Medication Specific Information• Attached in PHA parameters• Same for all formulary items

PHA.DRUG CDS

CDS Querie Possibilities

• Protocol - dosage calcs• Do Not Crush - Do Not Shake• Drug classification - chemo, contrast,

blood• Rx label information - MCD• MAR warnings• Nursing documentation prompts• Triggers for invoking global rules

Possibilities cont.

Rx Screen

• PHA RX type screen• Rx specific information• Attached in Order Type dictionary• Same for all orders of that Type• Entered as Rx queries

Possibilities

• Lot numbers• Expiration dates• Used with transaction rules can send

information to B/AR• Unique information• “Key” for rule display

ADE Monitoring

• Medications can be classified on the Drug CDS as those causing specific ADE’s. Multiple ADE’s can be associated with a single formulary item.

• A Rule is created for each potential ADE. • By answering “Y” to the ADE query “Potential

ADE (Y/N)” and associating the appropriate ADE’s at the “ADE:” prompt, these refill rules will be invoked and display on the refill list.

Using a CDS Query to invoke a Global Rule

By answering “Y” to the ADE query “Potential ADE (Y/N)” and associating the appropriate ADE’s at the “ADE:” prompt, these refill rules can be invoked and display on the refill list

Multiple ADE responses can be entered for a specific formulary item

Clinical Parameters (sample triggers)

CDIFF Positive Stool culture for C.diff

PC<50000 Platelet count less than 50,000

PTT>100 PTT greater than 100 seconds

INR>6 INR greater than 6

Retcount>2 Absolute reticulocyte count greater than 2%

Bili>10 Seum bilirubin greater than 10 mg/dL

ALT>150 Serum ALT > 150 Units/L

IncreaseCR Increasing Creatinine

IncreaseALT Increasing ALT(20%)

Hyperkalemia Serum Potassium greater than 6.5 mmol/L

ADE Monitoring

• Global rules will indicate a potential ADE and the order that may be causing the adverse effect.

Sample ADE Rule; This rule will display patient with cyclosporine > 500 receiving

cyclosporine drug; [f rx med]^M,"PHA.ADEGRP"^GRP,"CYCLOSPRNE"^CDS,IF{[f z.get.cds.resp](M,GRP,CDS) ""^RES, [f rx nth ver Res-RES]("CYCL1",1)^RES,RES#”1,”^RESDT,RES#”2,”^RESTM,RES#"0,"^RES,IF{RES>500 "Potential ADE, cyclosporine serum level = "^MSG,MSG_RES_” on “_RESDT_” @ “_RESTM^MSG,Q(MSG,RESDT,RESTM);[f rx reject]};[f rx reject]};

Added Sophistication

An NPR Report printed to the screen that promotes the ability to provide real-time intervention on patients when time may be of the essence.

IV to PO Conversion• Fields can be added to the Drug CDS. • The first field identifies if the medication can be

converted to a PO medication. • The second field will define the dose of the oral form that

is equivalent to the IV form. • The global refill rule provides the following information.

For patients with active orders for the medications identified that can be converted to PO. It searches through the active orders of the patient for any other active orders for oral dosage forms that have a schedule of SCH. If that is the case the rule will display a message that the patient is receiving an IV medication that may be suitable for a specific PO substitution.

IV to PO Conversion Set-Up

Answering “Y” to this field identifies if the medication can be converted to PO.

Oral Equivalent information to display can be entered here

IV to PO Real-time Clinical Surveillance Display Sample

Additional Sophistication

• If after reviewing an IV order, if it is determined that the IV should continue, an additional field can be added to the order type CDS to remove the rule message from displaying on the refill list or real-time display.

Order Type CDS An Additional field can be added to the order type CDS. The CDS is attached in the Order Type dictionary

Sample Order Type CDS

Once a user puts in a review Date and Time, the order will drop off the view board and resets the RX so that a new reported lab will trigger it to appear on the board again if indicated.Review notes added to note any changes or notes for that date.

Micro – CS Surveillance

• Displays if patient has been on antimicrobial therapy greater than x days (x customer defined)

• Warns if patient is on antibiotic and micro reports resistance to that antibiotic

• Warns if micro reports positive growth but patient not on Antibiotic

Querie Responses - Abx

Microbiology Warning

Additional Surveillance

• Change in patient weight > X%

• Warns if patient creatinine clearance changes by greater than X amount

• Pharmacogenetic Monitoring– IN.CYP2C10

• Poor Metabolizer for Plavix.
