Scores on the MAS-NAS ranged
from 2.24 to 5.5 prior to implementation
of the electronic medication

answering question #6: “I have
access to the systems that support
medication administration (physician
orders, drug information)
when I need them.” They were
most dissatisfied at that time with
turnaround time for “stat” medications
(5.5).
