| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This patch exports two new options that can be used to assist sites in the
Orderable Item/Dosages Report [PSS ORDERABLE ITEM DOSAGES] option:
This option prints a report that displays Inpatient and Outpatient
Dosages for Pharmacy Orderable Items. These are the dosages that will
display for selection through Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS)
when an Orderable Item is selected for a medication order. The report is
sorted by Pharmacy Orderable Item. Along with each dosage that is
displayed on the report, the name of the Drug entry from the DRUG file
(#50) that provides the dosage will also display. Not every dosage from
the DRUG file (#50) will display on this report. For example, if there are
pharmacy set-up work for the Pharmacy Ordering Enhancements (POE) project.
duplicate Possible Dosages for a Pharmacy Orderable Item, and there are
different Dispense Units per Dose, then only the Possible Dosage with the
lowest Dispense Units per Dose will display on the report. If there are
Possible Dosages and Local Possible Dosages for drugs tied to the Pharmacy
Orderable Item, then only the Possible Dosages will display on the report.
In summary, this report will screen out Possible Dosages and Local
Possible Dosage when appropriate, so only the dosages selectable through
CPRS will display on this report.
The two options are named:
Patient Instructions Report [PSS INSTRUCTIONS/ITEMS REPORT] option:
Due to numerous requests, a change has been made to the PATIENT
INSTRUCTIONS field (#7) of the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file (#50.7). Data
in this field will now be checked for possible expansions, by running each
word through the MEDICATION INSTRUCTION file (#51), similar to how the
SIG has been traditionally expanded in the Outpatient Pharmacy
application. The data will still be stored in condensed form, but will
print in expanded form when used by the various applications in POE. This
includes all reports, displays in CPRS, displays in Outpatient Pharmacy,
and when the SIG prints on the Outpatient Pharmacy labels. It is important
that any Patient Instructions entered prior the installation of this patch
be reviewed, to ensure that if a word didn't expand when originally
entered and now does expand, that the expansion is appropriate. The
Patient Instructions Report option can be used to review any Patient
Instructions that are entered in the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file (#50.7).
In addition to the new Patient Instructions Report, this patch makes a
change to the PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS field (#7) of the PHARMACY ORDERABLE
ITEM file (#50.7). When data is entered into this field, the expanded
version of the data will now echo back to the user.
