Has anyone set up an EPIC dashboard (trending or operational) for Med Safety Metrics?

Looking to see if a dashboard would be a good way to monitor:
reversal agents (Narcan, Andexxa/Kcentra, Glucose/D10/D50);
BCMA compliance & least scanned medication;
Opioid stewardship / pain management prescribing patterns;
etc etc

If you have one, any info would be appreciated.

We are looking for examples of a patient friendly medication reconciliation report that could be used after admission to communicate clearly with our patients (actually parents, we are peds) each medication we have on their Prior to Admission med list and what was done with each medication on that list.

Hi there ~
Question for the group regarding High Alert Medications.

Does your organization currently have any sort of "identifier" or visual cue, etc. built into the EHR to alert end users to the fact that a medication is considered 'high-alert'? if so, would you mind providing information on how you have this set up / what it looks like.

Hi there!

Just curious if anyone has any unique systems developed for management of REMS medications throughout their healthcare system?

Has anyone developed or implemented a way to make the age of a medication on the history (when it was last entered or updated) visible to clinicians (MDs, RPhs, RNs, NPs, PAs, CPhTs)?

If so, has anyone incorporated alerting to the prescriber on reconciliation based on the age of the history being reconciled?

Since we are an EPIC shop, any insight or experience with a "Med Rec Module" for EPIC would also be most appreciated.

Greetings,

My organization is transitioning to a new EHR (Epic) next year. In the interest of safety, we have opted to have a pharmacist verify essentially all medications except for small specific list in our PACU.

I am worried about the impact this will have to patient care, particularly in the ER, if there is a significant delay to medication availability. I am also hearing of other Epic customers making this choice and then later regretting it.

Do any of you have any relevant experience with not using auto-verification and how that impacted high-volume units?
