This patch contains several problems and resolutions related Pharmacy
Resolution: The characteristics of the INACTIVE DATE field (#.04) in the
PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file (#50.7) was enhanced by classifying the
field as an identifier. When the user performs a lookup on selectable
orderable items, the option will display the inactive date associated
with the orderable item.
2. Problem: In the Drug Enter/Edit [PSS DRUG ENTER/EDIT] option, the
user noticed excessive looping after matching or tying an IV Additive or
Solution to an orderable item. The user is asked repeatedly to enter
another IV Additive or Solution. The user has to press return several

times to move to the next section in the option.
Resolution: The Drug Enter/Edit [PSS DRUG ENTER/EDIT] option was
enhanced to allow the user to decide whether to enter another IV
Additive or Solution before moving to the next section.
3. Problem: In the Drug Enter/Edit [PSS DRUG ENTER/EDIT] option, the
user encountered an <UNDEFINED> UD^PSSDEE error when editing a drug that
has been previously marked for CMOP. After the "Do you wish to UNmark
this drug to transmit to CMOP? " prompt, the problem occurred as a result
of killing the DA variable found at line tag UNMARK+1 in the PSSMARK
routine. When the coding logic returned to the PSSDEE routine, the DA
variable was detected as undefined since it was not reset to its
original value.
Resolution: In reference to the Drug Enter/Edit [PSS DRUG ENTER/EDIT]
option, the PSSDEE routine was modified to store the value of the DA
variable into an alternate variable so that the value of the DA variable
can be retained for further use.

ORDERABLE ITEM file (#50.7), the default prompt only showed the orderable
item name and did not include any reference to the DOSAGE FORM field
(#.02) in the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file (#50.7). The selection

same name with different dosage forms.

problem was discovered with identifying an inactive orderable item
ORDERABLE ITEMS] option was enhanced to display a message to the user
prior to the prompt. The message will indicate both the orderable item
name and dosage form information.
5. Problem: In the Edit Orderable Items [PSS EDIT ORDERABLE ITEMS]
option, the user noticed a problem with modifying and storing information
related to the orderable item. The problem was related to an outdated
global reference to a reconstructed National Drug File (NDF) file within
the input transform placed on the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM field (#2.1) in
the DRUG file (#50).
before it is matched or tied to a dispense drug. Users find it difficult
Resolution: To resolve this problem, the input transform associated with
the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM field (#2.1) was modified by replacing the
old NDF global reference with a NDF Application Programming Interfaces
(API) call to retrieve the dosage form information from the proper file.
6. Problem: The Drug Enter/Edit [PSS DRUG ENTER/EDIT] option failed to
notify the user when a dispense drug is matched or tied to an inactive
orderable item. The user would like to see a warning message before s/he

Resolution: To resolve this problem, the Drug Enter/Edit [PSS DRUG
ENTER/EDIT] option was enhanced to warn the user when a dispense drug is
matched or tied to an inactive orderable item and provide the name of the
option where the user can make the proper changes.
