Adminstration Batching

Hi all -

We're an Epic organization, and I just found out that the administration documentation process allows batching, where the nurse can scan and document multiple meds in a row, or batch, at one time. You still have to go through each one individually, but it's not the process of armband scan, med barcode scan, administer, then move to the next med. This is contributing to some of our administration events.

Do any other Epic organizations have this same issue, or have you implemented any kind of fix for this?

Thanks,
Elizabeth
