Pharmacists:
We've discovered that the Adult TPN PowerForm is rounding values up to the nearest whole number. So, 0.5 mg manganese, when entered into the PowerForm, yields 1 mg in the generated progress note (see screenshot below). Likewise, 0.5 mL trace elements is converted to 1 mL in the progress note. Please be sure the TPN comments in Medication Manager contain the correct quantities prior to submission.
PharmIT believes they have found the problem. We will keep you posted. Thank you.
