Adult Outpatient Surgery Plan Update

, ,

In an effort to align with hospital policy regarding renal dosing for enoxaparin (Lovenox), we updated the Adult Outpatient Surgery plan and subsequently destroyed any physician favorite plan that contained the affected enoxaparin order. 

This was a patient safety change that was put into policy over a year ago.  The changes to all other plans were made many months ago, but it was recently brought to our attention that the Adult Outpatient Surgery plan had been missed with that round of changes.   

We apologize for any issues this may have caused with staff and providers.  Let us know if you have any questions or need more information on what was changed.

UMC Ambulatory Infusion Center: IV Therapy Orders

,

***Correction: Previous reports showed this as a UMCP effort. It is in fact a UMC, not UMCP, infusion center. We apologize for the inconvenience.

UMC has recently opened an Ambulatory Infusion Center.  As a result, the order for Home IV therapy will no longer display as “Social Services for Home IV Therapy”.   It will now show as “Social Services for IV therapy”.  In the details box you will be required to pick a location of either “Home” or “Ambulatory Infusion Center”

Issue:Citrix Receiver Update for iOS Devices

, ,

iOS Device Updates for the Citrix Receiver v7.2.2 is not recommended at this time.  The device update is causing error alerts and not allowing end users to log in to PowerChart and other applications.  This is not related to PowerChart touch and does not seem to be impacting Android devices at this time.

 

If you take this update on your iPhone/iPad/iOS devices...

 

 

You run the risk of receiving the following errors and not be able to use any mobile applications through the CITRIX RECEIVER,

 

Potential Temporary Solution if you have already taken the upgrade:

Go to the Apple APP STORE and download "R1". This is the older version of the receiver and will allow you to use PowerChart. There will be no need to delete the 7.2.2 version as we want you to have it when the issue is resolved.
