| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
Description:
The primary problem is that when these prescriptions were being
transmitted to the CMOPs and they were behind on dispensing, the
prescriptions were being rejected because the prescriptions had
already expired. The default of 5 is being changed to 30 to
accommodate the CMOPs and to allow the patients to receive their
medications in a timely manner. Prescriptions will no longer expire
before 30 days elapses from the Issue Date when the day supply is
less than 30 days and there are no refills. If a minimum of 1 refill
is entered the one year/six month rule still applies.
===========
2. This patch also includes a correction to initialize the line
counter for the "SIG1" entries in the PRESCRIPTION file (#52). Before
this fix, the count could be incorrect sometimes which could cause
problems for external interfaces.
3. This patch corrects a problem that caused a null subscript error.
This would happen if records were being created in the PENDING OUTPATIENT
ORDERS file (#52.41) and an attempt was made to pull up the patient's
medications in the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) at the same
moment.
1. Currently, if a non-controlled substance prescription is entered with
a day supply less than 5 days and there are no refills, the expiration
date defaults to 5 days from the issue date. If a controlled substance
prescription is entered with a day supply less than 5 days without
refills, the expiration date is the Issue Date plus the Days Supply.
