The purpose of this file is to satisfy the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) requirement
In order to satisfy the requirement that both the prescribing (CPRS) and
filling systems (Outpatient Pharmacy) create an archive, but to reduce the
need for additional storage space, both CPRS and Pharmacy will use the same
file. CPRS will create the entries when an order is signed or when a backdoor
order message is received from Pharmacy. Once Pharmacy verifies the data in
the Pharmacy system is an exact match for what CPRS stored, they will
subscribe to the entry in the archive file and will update the PRESCRIPTION
NUMBER (#1) field.

The file was defined in a different global name in order to handle the

It is important to note that to fully meet the DEA requirements, the fields
required by the DEA cannot be pointers. We must store the data completely.
The fields that are pointers are for our internal use, rather than for
the DEA purposes.
substance prescriptions that were electronically entered.
The file will store all the information that is considered a part of the
prescription.
The file should always be audited. In addition, the file should NEVER be
edited using FileMan. These are both DEA requirements.
