problem.
3. Prior to the Pharmacy Ordering Enhancements patches, the Dispense
Drug of a prescription could be edited and not create a new order. This
would happen if the new Dispense Drug was matched to the same Pharmacy
Orderable Item as the old Dispense Drug. When this occurred, the drug was
not updated in Computerized Record Patient System (CPRS). If the order is
then renewed through CPRS after the install of the Pharmacy Ordering
Enhancements patches, and if this order can have Possible Dosages, it is
possible that Dosages are automatically assigned to the order by CPRS
and if the nature of order was marked as "Verbal", there is a possibility
based on the original order information. When the Pending Renewal is
displayed in Pharmacy, the Dispense Drug is always replaced with the
current Dispense Drug of the order. This could lead to the Possible
Dosages not matching the Dispense Drug on the Pending Renewal.
To fix this problem, when the Renewal is done in CPRS, Pharmacy will
check the Drug from the PRESCRIPTION file (#52) against the Drug in the
ORDER file (#100), and if it is different, the order will be
Non-Renewable through CPRS.

This functionality of this patch will not be seen until both this patch
(PSO*7*96) and the CPRS patch (OR*3*134) are installed. It will not cause
any problems if the Outpatient Pharmacy patch is installed without the
CPRS patch, it's just that the functionality will not be seen until both
are installed.

installation of the Pharmacy Ordering Enhancements patches, it is
possible that the Verb from one Renewal is carried over to the next
Renewal. This patch will fix this problem.
signature. This patch fixes this problem.
5. A problem has been reported when finishing renewals entered through
CPRS, and when processing renewals through Outpatient Pharmacy. The
Instructions field sometimes displays with incorrect Instructions. This
is a result of a data problem that occurred prior to the Pharmacy
Ordering Enhancements project, and has since been fixed. But there is no
way to clean up any of the invalid data, so these invalid Instructions
still appear on the pending renewal screen. Since the Sig now shows on
the pending renewal screen, the software no longer needs to show the
Instructions, so the Instructions will now be removed from the display.
2. When finishing a renewal entered through Computerized Patient Record
System (CPRS) in Outpatient Pharmacy and answering YES to the prompt "Do
you want to enter a Progress Note? No//", the software does not present
the pharmacist with the progress notes template. This patch fixes this
