| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
The FY08 Q4 Enhancement Release includes the following enhancements.
This patch adds a new NTE8 segment that has the VA Notice of Privacy
Practices, IB 10-163 narrative to the content of the laser labels print
stream. If you are using automated dispensing equipment that relies on
the data stream sent to the laser labels port, you have to contact your
vendor to make adjustments to the trailer page as defined in item #4
below.
1. Automate CPRS Refill Processing
==================================
This patch provides functionality to automatically process refills placed
by the provider via CPRS. A new system parameter, AUTOMATE CPRS REFILLS
field (#40.16), has been added to the PHARMACY SYSTEM file (#59.7) by the
Pharmacy Data Management V. 1.0, patch PSS*1*137 to support this
functionality.
Please refer to patch PSS*1*137 for more details.
The auto refill process will occur only if the new AUTOMATE CPRS REFILLS
field (#40.16) of the PHARMACY SYSTEM file (#59.7) is set to YES and the
security key, PSOAUTRF, has been assigned to at least one user; otherwise
1. Automate Computerized Patient Record System V. 1.0 (CPRS) Refill
the current process will continue where the orders have to be finished
manually. Orders processed automatically will have the refill date
calculated by the refill process to the next possible fill date and the
routing will be set to Mail.
During the auto refill process, if the criteria for refilling fails, then
the order will not be processed but will be stored in the PENDING
OUTPATIENT ORDERS file (#52.41) for manual processing. Also, a MailMan
message, with the reason for not filling the auto refill, will be sent to
holders of the PSOAUTRF security key. This should be very rare since CPRS
Processing.
will allow refills only if they are refillable.
2. Display of both the Fill Date and the Release Date
=====================================================
On the Patient Medication Profile screen, new functionality was
implemented to allow users to have the option of viewing either the FILL
DATE or the RELEASE DATE information. This is done by using a hidden
ListMan action called RDD to invoke the RELEASE DATE display and will
remain for that session. Using the RDD action again will display the FILL
DATE.

ticket RT223633. When a duplicate drug message is displayed, the heading
"CMOP Status" is currently shown for CMOP drugs only. This heading is
being renamed to "Processing Status" and it will appear on every duplicate
drug message along with the release status.
