7. WIM-0603-20338
The Print from Suspense File [PSO PNDLBL] option allows an user
to queue the printing of the labels at a later time by Taskman. A
problem was found when the original task was re-queued through the
Taskman Requeue Tasks [XUTM REQ] option by a different user. Once
the labels printed, the label print activity log for the prescription
was recorded as being performed by the second user, the one who
re-queued the Taskman task, which is wrong. This patch makes the
correction to keep the user who queued the label print through the
Print from Suspense File [PSO PNDLBL] option in the label print
activity log.
8. MAC-0603-60315
Patch PSO*7*124 introduced the following change:
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. 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
2. CLA-0303-20198
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.
This created a problem for some sites with a rehab unit where some
patients go out on Authorized Absence every weekend. The site then
enters a prescription with a patient status of AUTHORIZED ABSENCE and
no refills and a small number for days supply (3 or 4 days). Before,
such prescriptions expired within 5 days from the issue date and no
The Manual Auto Expire Rxs [PSO MANUAL AUTO EXPIRE] option was
longer showed on the Medication Profile screen. Now, after PSO*7*124
was installed, such prescriptions remain active for at least 30 days.
The result is that multiple prescriptions for a single drug are listed
in the Medication Profile screen. Active prescriptions with a patient
status of AUTHORIZED ABSENCE can contain the same drug already in
another active prescription for the same patient.
Once this patch is installed, prescriptions with a patient status of
AUTHORIZED ABSENCE and no refills will have the expiration date
calculation reversed to a minimum of 5 days from the issue date,
instead of the 30 days introduced by patch PSO*7*124.

9. PUG-0603-50491
This NOIS call reported a problem with the patient security check for
the Complete Orders from OERR [PSO LMOE FINISH] option. An example of
a patient security check is when an employee tries to get access to
his own medical record and is denied. In the case of the menu option
mentioned above, such security checks were not being performed when
the user selected to process ALL the patients with pending orders.
Also, when processing by clinic, route or priority, there were no
security checks performed. The only time the security checks were
Outpatient Pharmacy prescriptions and Computerized Patient Record
performed was when the user selected to process a single patient.
When this patch is installed, this problem will be resolved and the
Complete Orders from OERR [PSO LMOE FINISH] option will perform the
security checks consistently for all the possible selections when
finishing pending orders.
10. CON-0703-11685, MAR-0703-21567 & SBY-0703-31538
When trying to reinstate discontinued prescriptions for a patient that
had the DATE OF DEATH field (#.351) in the PATIENT file (#2) entered
and then deleted, the user was getting an "Undefined variable DA"
System (CPRS) V. 1.0 order entries. And as such, the start date was set
error. This problem was introduced by patch PSO*7*117, more
specifically by the changes described in item #2b which was made to
address NOIS call CAH-0402-31866. This patch corrects the problem
with the use of that variable.
11. MIN-1202-40079, FRE-0303-60233 & RIC-0603-21344
In some situations where a patient is being accessed by Inpatient
Pharmacy Version 5.0, if an attempt is made to finish orders in
Outpatient Pharmacy Version 7.0, a message is received that the
patient is in use. Then if an "^" is entered for the PATIENT STATUS
to the date Outpatient Pharmacy Version 7.0 was installed minus 120
prompt, the cross-reference entries in the PHARMACY PATIENT file (#55)
could be deleted for that patient. This patch corrects the problem. A
follow-up patch will provide a clean up to rebuild missing
cross-references.
12. HUN-0603-21419 & WPB-0803-30273

between patients.

1. BIR-0203-30502
prescriptions, specifically those that are 120 days prior to the date
Outpatient Pharmacy Version 7.0 was installed, show an active status
when viewed via FileMan. In order to scan the PRESCRIPTION file (#52)
and flag such orders as expired, this option has been modified to
provide the user the flexibility to select a start date and the default
is set to the date Outpatient Pharmacy Version 7.0 was installed minus
120 days.

This NOIS call reported that the PROVIDER COMMENTS field (#39) of the

PRESCRIPTION file (#52) was being lost when a prescription was renewed
from Outpatient Pharmacy. A correction was made to send the comments to
CPRS when the prescription is renewed from Outpatient Pharmacy.
4. ISB-0403-31630
This NOIS call reported a problem in the display of Allergy severity
in the Patient Prescription Processing [PSO LM BACKDOOR ORDERS]
option, on the Detailed Allergy Display screen. The content of the
field "Severity:" was limited to one, and only one, value. The possible
values were: MILD, MODERATE or SEVERE. The first Severity on file was
with a FastFill machine:
displayed. Since it is possible to have more than one Severity per
Allergy, this display was changed to show all the Severities on file,
along with the dates on which each one was observed. See example below:
Before: Severity: MODERATE
Now: Severity: 04/07/03 MODERATE
04/15/03 MILD
04/17/03 SEVERE
Besides the changes to this display, the HL7 message for External
Interfaces was also changed. The ZAL segment will have one for each
severity observed. Before, it would have only one entry for the
oldest severity observed. Furthermore, the date the severity was
observed is being added as field #8 of this segment. From the same
example from above, here is how the ZAL segment will look:
Before:
ZAL|530|NIACIN 100MG TAB |ALLERGY|DRUG|VERIFIED|MODERATE
$ZE= ACK+2^PSOHLSG:1, %DSM-E-UNDEF, undefined variable HL("APAT"),
Now:
ZAL|530|NIACIN 100MG TAB |ALLERGY|DRUG|VERIFIED|MODERATE|20030407|
ZAL|530|NIACIN 100MG TAB |ALLERGY|DRUG|VERIFIED|MILD|20030415|
ZAL|530|NIACIN 100MG TAB |ALLERGY|DRUG|VERIFIED|SEVERE|20030417|
5. ANN-0902-40951
An undefined error was reported when using the Patient Prescription
Processing [PSO LM BACKDOOR ORDERS] option. If the drug of an active
order is edited, but the user quits without saving the changes and a
new order for the same drug is placed immediately afterwards, the error
-DSM-I-ECODE, MUMPS error code: M6
could occur. This patch fixes this issue.
6. LAS-0503-60830 & BRX-0603-11755
The "NTE|2|" segment in the HL7 message generated for external
interfaces is composed by the concatenation of the following Freetext
fields from the OUTPATIENT SITE file (#59) in this order:
Field # Name
------------------------------------------
1005 NARRATIVE FOR REFILLABLE RX
1006 NARRATIVE FOR NON-REFILLABLE RX
1004 NARRATIVE FOR COPAY DOCUMENT
When building this segment, the routine PSOHLSG2 was skipping one line
between the content of each field. This line is being interpreted by
some external interfaces, such as Optifill, as the end of the "NTE|2|"
segment, because all it contains is a carriage return character. This
caused the external interface to reject messages with only a carriage
return in the line. To solve this problem a blank space will be
inserted between the content of each field. In the example below, the
The routine was corrected to reinitialize the variable if it does not
blank space will be added where the arrow ("->") is pointing.
