problem occurs when that order is renewed again, because the Sig from that
point on is built from the Dosing information, which could produce an
invalid Sig.
To fix this problem, CPRS patch OR*3*134 will identify these orders to
Pharmacy in a mail message. Pharmacy should then go and act accordingly on
these orders. Please refer to patch OR*3*134 for complete information.

As an added precaution, this patch, PSO*7*100, is being released. This
patch will check the dosages associated with an order when that order is
renewed or copied through Outpatient Pharmacy, and if a Dosage is found in
the order that contains "0..", the process will not continue, and a

missing Sig when prescriptions are renewed. If a prescription is renewed,
and that prescription is missing the Sig, the prescription will not be

selecting the orders to renew, a number of prompts appear, one of those
prompts being PATIENT STATUS. The response to that prompt is entered as
the Patient Status in the PHARMACY PATIENT (#55) file, but the
prescriptions that are renewed still have the same Patient Status of the
prescriptions being renewed. This patch will make the change to update

Dose contained a decimal point. When these pre-POE orders are renewed, the
Sig is brought into the order from the order being renewed. If this
