Has anybody been success using these symbols? I can't find the raw data structure for it anywhere to even attempt to test it.

I can't find anything, either. I just logged an SR with GE yesterday and will post my findings when I get information.

I ran mel traces on the html form and posted some of my findings on a July 10th (or around there) post called "Medication Administration Form" There should be enough info there to create your own functions. If you have any specific questions let me know.

Great idea! One more question If using a custom form and these new MEL med admin stuff IS NOT tied in but an order is generated for the Med Administered will it count for CPOE? Or do these new MEL symbols need to be added in for it to count?

Per the MU Help files, I dont think Med Admin counts for CPOE, just the medication list.

Per this 2014_Workflows_V5[1] from GE. Med Admin does count? Unless we're interpreting this wrong.

I'm kind of lost on what to go by. Does it flow to CQR? I guess that's the real test.

Thats the first time I have seen that document, but I would interpret it the same way you did. We havent been able to calculate anything on CQR yet so I couldn't tell you.
If it does count I would think the MEL symbols would work for numerator and denominator, it does capture an order separate from the administration. If you don't, it would probably miss both the numerator and denominator in the calculation.
CMS faq says "Number of medications ordered"
GE help files that I have say "A prescription for a coded medication" ... "using one of the following prescribing methods" But I couldnt tell you if I have the most up to date version of the help files.
Like you said, it'll come down to what CQR is picking up. If anyone has any insight on that I would love to hear it.

Thats the first time I have seen that document, I would read it the same way. The version of the GE help files I have reads "A prescription for a coded medication" ... "using one of the following prescribing methods" which is what made me think it didnt. Has anyone been able to calculate on CQR to test this?
