Pharmacist Refresher Inservice :

 

As of today, 54 employees have attended the Cerner Pharmacist Refresher Inservice.

Last 2 classes being offered are:

- Tues 1/15 1300-1430 - Corp Univ. Rm 119A

- Wed 1/16 1300-1430 - Corp Univ. Rm 119C Reminder - no need to register - just make every effort to attend if you haven't already.

 

IF you have NOT yet attended, and IF you have a conflict with these last 2 days/times, please contact your supervisor ASAP.

You may be able to participate in the 0730 class being held on Wed 1/16 (originally designated for night shift employees). To participate in the 0730 Wed 1/16 class, please email Joseph Ho to be sure he has a PC designated for you.

 

Practice B (PB) Module Update:

 

We have opened additional PB module sessions. Please do not register for a 2nd PB session until all pharmacists have the opportunity to sign up for their initial PB module. Remember the quality of the training experience will depend on how well you and a designated partner are able to input orders. Between now and your PB module, please make an effort to find time and practice.

 

The PB Module takes approximately 3.5 hours to complete. You must attend the Cerner Pharmacist Refresher Inservice prior to completing the PB module. Hours spent on the PB module are above and beyond your scheduled staffing. Upon completion of the PB module, you will be paid for a 4 hour shift at straight time. Please complete the required PB paperwork in order to receive credit and be paid. Compare practice openings carefully to your current schedule - Do Not Double Book .

Subject: Cerner Training Update #5 - Correction and Update

Attachment: PracticeModuleSession

 

Correction:

The refresher inservice being offered on Thursday 1/10 (see email below) is actually from 1300 -1430 (it has been corrected - original email listed it as 1200-1430).

 

PB Update:

We will be working in pairs during the PB module. The quality of the training experience will depend on how well you and a designated partner are able to input orders. So, between now and your PB module, please make an effort to find time and practice using the PA materials attached. Instructions to login and gain access to train patients are listed below.

 

*Note - you are welcome to sign up with a partner in the same PB session, but this is not required. Everyone will be paired up with another pharmacist at the start of each PB session.

 

Access to the Train environment:

Log onto 1Chart-Train using your network login, then select Powerchart, then enter username and password, and work on a patient as listed below.

 

-Please remember that any actions taken on a train patient will be removed and refreshed back to the ‘standard’ patient each day. Orders placed/modified in the system will not continue to the following day.

 

- USER NAME : During CORE training you were provided a tip sheet on how to log in to the TRAIN environment. Since future Training classes will use the NEW Train environment there are no longer limitations on which user name login to use in the old Train environment. However, please be aware that others may be using this same user log in that day and so user-specific settings may be altered as you are navigating the system if another is using the same chosen login. You can use any pharmacist user name for login to the applications (pharmacist1, pharmacist2, pharmacist3…through pharmacist40—there are no other pharmacist logins past 40).

 

NOTE - password is "training"

 

- TRAIN PATIENTS : Since future Training classes will use the NEW Train environment, there are less limitations on which patient to pick for practice purposes. For Practice, please still select ONLY patients with a last name beginning with “Pharmadult” (last name examples below). As with user logins, since these are shared patients, please be aware that others may be using the same patient at the same time or during the same day. Therefore, you may see orders/actions on the patient that are not actions taken by yourself. ‘Pharmadult’ patient’s last names range from ‘Pharmadultwo’ to ‘Pharmadultfifty’…feel free to use any of these patients for practice purposes—those listed below are only examples.

 

Pharmadultforty six

Pharmadultforty seven

Pharmadultforty eight

Pharmadultforty nine

Pharmadultfifty

 

Thanks
