NSR 20110308 Addition of a STRENGTH Property to IV ADDITIVES and Premixed
IV SOLUTIONS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although patches PSJ*5*289 and PSS*1*174 introduced quite a few enhancements
to the IV Additives and IV Solutions ordering functionality they did not go
far enough in addressing all the issues originally in the NSR. Patches
PSJ*5*313 and PSS*1*189 will extend the display of the IV Additive strength
to other parts of the Inpatient Medications and Pharmacy Data Management
applications. In addition, it will also impose a new rule where an Orderable
Remedy Ticket and a Patient Safety Issue (PSI) related to the VistA Pharmacy
Item can only have one IV Solution for a specific volume when it is marked
to be used in the CPRS IV Fluid Order Entry.
The following Inpatient Medications functionality was modified:
