Today was our last day for golive preparation. Most of it was spent correcting some last minute issues with printed MARs, custom medication build, and CDMs (our Identifier between our ADC and PIS). Most of the issues we ran into at the first hospital golive were related to these identifier mismatches. Fixing them requires someone to go to the ADC on the unit and reload the medication (to send the updated interface message to the PIS). We did our best to prevent any of these mishaps this time around.

We will start conversion at about 0630 AM tomorrow. We will have just over 70 people through the pharmacy department on Saturday (about 40 at one time). Most of their time will be spent entering all of our existing orders in the new PIS. We are expecting about 6000 unique orders. I will share portions of our cutover plan as time allows tomorrow.

I will do my best to tag all of my twitter posts with #PISGL (Pharmacy Information System Golive) so they can easily be referenced later.
