Interested to see how folks at other institutions approach medication documentation if there's a need to back chart >48hours after.

We use EPIC and current state system build is after 48 hours the eMAR cannot be edited or back charted on, regardless if the patient is discharged or not. If additional eMAR documentation is required after this period, Nursing staff must present to the Health Information Department/Medical Records Department and place a progress note.

Does your institution have similar blocks on eMAR documentation after specific timeframe? If yes, when documentation is required outside of the designated time frame, how to do you approach this?

Thanks!
