Later today, two new rules related to Metformin-IV Contrast interactions will be activated in 1Chart. Attached is a reference document detailing these new rules. Of note, Radiology/Imaging will still continue to fax the handwritten forms indicating IV Contrast administration through the end of next week (Friday, August 8) while we confirm the rules are working appropriately. I will send out another message once these are live (likely around NOON today), but wanted to give everyone a heads up about them.
Please let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues. Thank you.
