| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
Phase 1 of the Pharmacy Ordering Enhancements (POE) project introduced
that entry to have Possible Dosages is that the combination of Dosage Form
and Unit from the National Drug File match must be marked as convertible
in the DOSAGE FORM (#50.606) file. This data in the DOSAGE FORM (#50.606)
file was populated at the Field Office and exported with patch PSS*1*34.
This data should only be edited and exported from the Field Office,
so this patch is exporting the data again, and will put restrictions on
those particular fields. This patch will also put restrictions on fields
in the DRUG (#50) file, to prevent invalid Possible Dosages from being
created. In addition, this patch will look for any invalid Possible
Dosages in the DRUG (#50) file, and either delete that Possible Dosage, or
functionality to create Possible Dosages and Local Possible Dosages in the
remove the invalid package reference from that Possible Dosage. A mail
message will also be generated that lists any drugs that were affected by
this install. This message will be sent to the person installing the
patch, and all PSNMGR key holders. Reasons that a Possible Dosage would
have to be deleted are:
1) The drug is not matched to the National Drug File.
2) The match to the National Drug File does not produce a valid Unit or
Dosage Form.
3) The Unit from the National Drug File match does not match the Unit in
DRUG (#50) file. This work is being done in preparation of phase 2 of the
the DRUG (#50) file.
4) The combination of Dosage Form/Unit from the National Drug File match
is not marked as convertible in the DOSAGE FORM (#50.606) file.
POE project, when these Possible Dosages and Local Possible Dosages will
be selectable during the Medication Ordering process in Outpatient
Pharmacy, Inpatient Medications, and Computerized Patient Record System
(CPRS).
