| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
The general purpose of this patch is to meet the requirements in support
the patches.
This patch modifies the Pharmacy Data Management V. 1.0 application as
described below:
1. The following fields were added to DRUG file (#50) for determining
metric quantity for electronic 3rd Party billing:
a. NCPDP DISPENSE UNIT field (#82) - Allows entry of EA for EACH, GR
for GRAMS or ML for MILLILITERS.
of ePharmacy enhancements. This patch is one of five to be released. Three
b. NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER field (#83) - This field contains the
number that will be multiplied by the quantity in the prescription
in order to determine the correct quantity to bill electronic 3rd
party insurance companies. Only products with an NCPDP DISPENSE
UNIT of GM or ML should have a value different than 1 (one) in this
field. Numbers between 0.001 and 99999.999 are allowed entry
into this field.
2. The two fields above will be auto-populated by a post-install routine,
patches will be released in the KIDS multi-build distribution BPS PSO IB
which will be executed when this patch is installed. Although the
majority of drugs will be updated with EA (EACH) for the NCPDP DISPENSE
UNIT and 1 (one) for the NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER fields, a large
number of drugs will be updated with GM (GRAMS) or ML (MILILLITERS).
Furthermore, some drugs will also have a number different for the NCPDP
QUANTITY MULTIPLIER field. The post-install routine relies on a
built-in list provided by the National Drug File (NDF) group that
contains the necessary information for the update being performed.
Once this patch is installed, the user should be able to verify the
BUNDLE 2.0, which contains BPS*1*5, IB*2*363, and PSO*7*260. Patches
auto-population results by running the following Fileman Print option:

PSX*2*63 and PSS*1*127 will be released as stand-alone patches. Since

THEN PRINT FIELD:

3. For the DRUG ENTER/EDIT [PSS DRUG ENTER/EDIT] option, the PSSCOMMON
input template for DRUG file (#50) was modified to allow entry/edit of
the NCPDP DISPENSE UNIT field (#82) and the NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER
there is an implementation dependency between the multi-build distribution
field (#83). The following give additional information on definition
and validation of these fields:
a. When new drugs are defined, the values of EA for EACH and 1 (one)
will be the default values for these new fields.
b. When the NCPDP DISPENSE UNIT is changed from one value to another,
the NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER will be defaulted to 1 (one) and a
message stating such will be displayed. If the NCPDP QUANTITY
MULTIPLIER field already contains 1 (one), no change will be made
and the stand-alone patches, PSX*2*63 and PSS*1*127 must be installed
nor will a message be displayed.
c. When a valid value greater than or less than 1 (one) is entered for
the NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER, a warning message will be displayed
stating that typically a value of 1 (one) should be defined for
this field. Then the user will be prompted to continue processing
thereby accepting the new value or to edit and view extended help
text for the type of NCPDP DISPENSE UNIT selected. If the user
elects to ^ (shift six) to exit the "Ok to continue (Y/N)" prompt,
the system will default the NCPCP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER to 1 (one)
prior to the installation of the multi-build. For more specific
and give a warning message stating such.
4. The LOOKUP INTO DISPENSE DRUG FILE [PSS LOOK] option was modified to
list the new NCPDP DISPENSE UNIT and NCPDP QUANTITY MULTIPLIER fields
after the PRICE/DISPENSE UNIT field.
