Enhancement updates provide short alerts to new, fixed or improved Connect Care functions...
- Hazardous Medication Storyboard Alerts
As of May 5, 2025, hazardous medication alerts for non-ambulatory patients will appear in Connect Care when applicable on the patient’s Storyboard (click the left camera icon below to see a screenshot). By hovering to discover the alert, users will be able to access links to the Hazardous Medication Handling Risk Assessment Algorithm and the Hazardous Medication Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Guides (right camera icon).
KNOWN hazard medication alerts will remain active until the indicated precautionary period has passed or until the medication has been discontinued or expired; POTENTIAL and REPRODUCTIVE hazard medication alerts will remain active until the medication has been discontinued or expired. Non-prescribers will also be able to see the hazardous medication alerts in other locations, including lab specimen labels.
This change is phase 1 of integrating hazardous medication identification into Connect Care; phase 2 will expand identification to ambulatory and community patients, with implementation planned for a future date.
