| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
A problem can occur in Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) when
In this example, the first and third Dosages come from different Dispense
Drugs, but since each of these drugs has a top level Strength and Unit
from the National Drug File match, the Strength and Unit are displayed
instead of the Dispense Drug name, which makes the selection ambiguous.
In addition, no matter which of these Local Possible Dosages is selected,
the first or the third, the same Dispense Drug is assigned to the order.
To fix this problem, this patch will make a change to the way Local
Possible Dosages are returned to CPRS for display and selection. As in
duplicate Local Possible Dosages are displayed for selection in the
this case, if there are duplicate Local Possible Dosages in the list, and
one of the duplicate sets also has a duplicate Strength and Unit for
different Dispense Drugs, then the Strength will not be returned to CPRS
along with the Local Possible Dosages. Then instead of CPRS displaying the
Strength and Unit, CPRS will display the Dispense Drug name, which should
differentiate the selection display, as long as the Dispense Drug names
are different. This will also resolve the selection problem of the same
Dispense Drug being assigned to the order, regardless of the selection.
medication order entry process, and these duplicate Local Possible
Dosages have a duplicate Strength and Unit as part of the display. For
example, a dosage selection display such as:
SMALL AMOUNT OF 0.1%
SMALL AMOUNT OF 0.025%
SMALL AMOUNT OF 0.1%
