2. A new parameter has been added to the PHARMACY SYSTEM file (#59.7). It
is the AUTO-DC IMO ORDERS field (#26.8). This new parameter will allow
sites to control whether or not Inpatient Medications Orders for
Outpatients are automatically discontinued during patient movements. This
parameter will only be effective if sites are using Inpatient Medications
to control discontinues on patient movements. If the site is using the
CPRS auto-dc rules, this parameter will have no effect.
3. As a part of the Inpatient Medications Requirements for the Special
Focus Group IRA project, this patch modifies the definition of schedules
user the ability to order unit dose medications for outpatients. This is
in the ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE file (#51.1). TO accomplish this, the
following changes are being made to the PSSJ SCHEDULE EDIT input
template:
a. Do not allow entry of a schedule with the name of OTHER.
b. Do not allow entry of administration times for odd schedules.
c. Display the calculated frequency to the user.
4. Based on the upcoming requirement from the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Hospital Organizations, schedule names that are
considered dangerous will no longer be allowed. The four schedules that
accomplished through modifications to Inpatient Medications V. 5.0,
will no longer be allowed are: QD, HS, TIW and QOD. These schedules
cannot be used either alone or as part of a schedule name. For example:
QD is not allowed. Neither is QD ONCE.
5. The Inpatient Medications Requirements for the Special Focus Group IRA
project will prevent users from entering free text schedules for inpatient
medication orders. This patch helps accomplish this by changing the
validation of schedules entered through Computerized Patient Record System
(CPRS) V. 1.0. This validation requires that schedules be defined in the
ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE file (#51.1) or be a valid day-of-week, PRN or
Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) V. 1.0, and Scheduling V. 5.3.
administration time schedule before allowing the schedule to be added to
an inpatient order.
6. A provider entering an order into Computerized Patient Record System
(CPRS) V. 1.0 must be permitted to place a limitation on the duration of
an inpatient medication order. This capability exists for Unit Dose orders
and Inpatient IV orders, but not for IV Fluid orders. This patch helps
accomplish this by adding a new field to the PHARMACY PATIENT file (#55),
IV multiple (#100) called REQUESTED IV LIMITATION (#152).
The purpose of this patch is to create three new fields in the PHARMACY
PATIENT file (#55). In the UNIT DOSE multiple (#62), the CLINIC field
(#130) and the APPOINTMENT DATE/TIME field (#131) have been added. In the
IV multiple (#100), the APPOINTMENT DATE/TIME field (#139) has been added.
