November 12, 2013—Standard Medication Administration Times for Routine Orders at Q24H
For orders with Q24H frequency and Routine start time, written in the first 30 minutes of the hour, the administration time is set automatically to the top of the next hour; when written in the last 30 minutes of the hour, the administration time is set automatically to the top of the next hour plus 1. For example, the administration time for a Q24H Routine order written between 05:00 and 05:30 is set to 06:00; the same order written between 5:31 and 5:59 is set to 07:00.Providers completing the Face Sheet at discharge can record the dates that the principal and associated diagnoses where made, and the current status of each diagnosis.
