1. Problem: NOIS CMC-1101-31545 describes a situation where two
"perfect" merge could occur, sending the wrong medication to a patient.
Analysis of this problem revealed that two patient orders were assigned
the same record number in the file that allowed overwriting of data to
occur.
Resolution: Safeguards have been put in place to prevent the same record
number from being used by two distinct patient orders.
1. Problem: When prescriptions are transmitted to CMOP, an update is sent
to the Computerized Patient Record System ( CPRS) that says the
patient's prescription data gets merged within a Consolidated Mail

problem occurred because the wrong number was being sent to CPRS, and this
caused the CPRS status of an Outpatient order to become active, when is

statuses, which would show on the Orders Tab.
Resolution: The CMOP code was passing the internal entry number of the
wrong file to CPRS. The offending variable has been replaced by the
variable housing the correct value.

prescription data was from a single pharmacy division. While building
the transmission, the prescription data from one patient was overwritten
with the data of another, but imperfectly, leaving remnants of the first
as if appended to end of the data sequence. This instance posed no
threat to patient safety as the data stream was corrupted and caused the
download to terminate. However, there is the slight possibility that a
