***Attention***
Maintenance Notification for all Cerner Systems
We will have a complete Interface Downtime on Saturday afternoon February 3rd, 2018 beginning at 3:00 PM for 1 hour. All systems that share information with Cerner applications will be impacted. All Cerner applications will continue to be available, i.e. Powerchart, FirstNet, harmNet, etc., during this maintenance window.
A new component is being installed onto the Inpatient Summary View called, Additional Significant Events. It will be located next to the existing Significant Events component.
This new component is for PowerChart in the Emergency Center. When a patient presents to the EC within 30 days of inpatient discharge, the component will become visible to alert you regarding possible readmission status. The component should no longer be visible if the patient is admitted.
There will be a Cerner Direct Messaging downtime on February 1st, 2018 starting at 8 PM and lasting approximately 4 hours.
During this time Cerner Direct Messaging will not be available for use.
The Cerner functionality listed below will be down for 4 hours (until 12 am).
- Sending/receiving secure messages to/from patients utilizing MyTeamCare
- Sending/receiving secure messages, ToCs, and CCDs to/from providers outside of Cerner
- Patients will be unable to generate a Record Summary/summary of care in MyTeamCare
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Coming in January-- Drug-Food Alerts: Review and Suppress for Encounter.
Functionality: Will allow providers to filter a Drug-Food alert for themselves only for a specific patient for the duration of the patient’s encounter. Providers and IT personnel will have the ability to remove filtering.
How to Suppress the Drug-Food alert:
1) Select ‘Review & Suppress for Encounter’ as an Override Reason on the alert
2) Select ‘Continue’
How to remove suppression:
1) Select ‘Check Interactions’ at the top of the patient’s Order Profile
2) A red sphere appears to the left of all orders with interactions. Find the medication in question and click to view all interactions for the order. See allergy example below.
3) Under Provider Filtered Alerts, check the box under ‘Unfilter’
4) Select Continue.
5) This will cause the alert to fire again upon order entry of that medication.
Hemoglobin A1C now has restricted duplicate checking of 7 days (it was a warning for less than 1 day). If the test needs to be performed within a 7-day period, the lab would need to override the restriction.
This restricted duplicate checking will not prevent future orders if the requested collection day(s) are separated by more than 7 days.
