Possible underreporting of patients who are on a PCA opioid pump and receive Narcan but are not triggering as a numerator because of current work- flows.
PCAs are not scanned each time a patient dispenses the medication. The current workflow of nurses is to scan the medication cartridge upon initial set up/ administration, during shift changes, and as needed when a new cartridge is needed. Here Morphine PCA was scanned 5/1/25 at 11:55 and Narcan was scanned 5/2/25 at 00:17. The Narcan does not then pull to the QRDA elements because it does not read the Morphine PCA as being given within the last 12 hours. But if we look at the Epic Flowsheet documentation, the new syringe was started at 11:55 with 30ml and at 18:48, there were only 14.7ml left. So medication had been administered in that time frame. How are other facilities mapping to these flowsheets, as it just tracks doses given, attempts, cumulative dose etc. and not actual times of administrations?
