I was just wondering if any long term care facility's were using pcc. We are located in B.C. and have just started using this system a few months ago. The problem we seem to be having is related to pharmacy and doctor regulations. We are required to have a 'wet' signature on all the orders that are being processed. Electronic signatures (when the doctor sign in) is not accepted. This seems to double up our workload , as we have to print off pharmacy requisitions in order for the doctor and the nurse to sign then file these in the residents charts. We are not using the emar system yet. I am just wondering if other care facilities have encountered this problem and if so , how have they dealt with this. I have spoken with the pcc representatives and asked if there was a signature pad that is compatible with the program. So far they don't have anything like this.
