To show how INSECURE phone calls are, I had a patient admitted for pancreatitis who as he improved I decreased the IV dilaudid. He then called the nursing station from his room and increased it back up. The next day, when he denied doing it and blamed it on nursing error. So the patient did it AGAIN, and I had to get nursing supervisors involved to stop this.
I also had an Rx pad stolen and recovered by police in a "drug house".
It amazes me how easy it is to call in or fake a fax and yet eRx is not available.
BTW I am NOT in "pain management" by a long shot.
