| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This patch will address Patient Safety Issue PSPO00001088 and
at the GENERIC DRUG prompt and introduced this issue. Patch
5) This patch will also enhance the capabilities of the IV ADDITIVES
File (#52.6) and IV SOLUTIONS File (#52.7) so that a user can enter
a new additive or solution that has the same name as an existing entry.
Previously, a Fileman workaround had to be used to enter an identically
named entry. With this patch, if the user types in a name that already
exists in the file, they will first be presented with a list of available
selections. If the user scrolls through the list without selecting an
entry, they will be presented with the prompt to add a new entry.
For example - IV ADDITIVES File (#52.6)
PSS*1.0*174 will fix this problem by properly allowing the

3) This patch will also serve as the overall resolution to the
issue of ambiguous IV Additive strength when a pharmacist is
finishing an IV by adding a STRENGTH (#19) field to the
IV ADDITIVES File (#52.6). The new STRENGTH (#19) field
can be populated when adding a new IV Additive or when editing
an existing IV Additive via menu option ADditives File [PSSJI DRUG].
For example:
PRINT NAME: CEFAZOLIN//
GENERIC DRUG: CEFAZOLIN SOD 10GM M/D INJ// AM115
USED IN IV FLUID ORDER ENTRY: YES//
DRUG UNIT: GM//
STRENGTH: 1// ??
1) When adding a new IV Additive to the IV ADDITIVES File (#52.6),
This field identifies the numeric amount of medication that is
provided by one unit-of-use for the identified product.
For example, if one vial contains 50 MG of medication, the
STRENGTH will be entered as '50'. The DRUG UNIT of 'MG'
is populated by the DRUG UNIT (#2) field.
Whenever a lookup is performed on the IV ADDITIVES File (#52.6), the
and the user is at the GENERIC DRUG prompt, there is no way
STRENGTH (#19) field will display next to the NAME (#.01) field
with the words "Additive Strength:" and then its value.
Additionally, the DRUG UNIT (#2) field will be appended to the
STRENGTH (#19) field. If the STRENGTH (#19) field is not
populated for the IV Additive, the text "N/A" will display, and
the DRUG UNIT (#2) field will not display.
For example:
Select IV TYPE: PIGGYBACK.
to exit from the prompt. The input does not allow the user
Select ADDITIVE: CEFAZOL

IV ROOM ONLY
2 CEFAZOLIN Additive Strength: 2 GM
3 CEFAZOLIN PREMIX Additive Strength: N/A
CHOOSE 1-3:
4) Additionally, this patch makes a small enhancement to the display
to use the caret (^) to exit. The code that was modified
of Quick Codes during the selection of an IV ADDITIVE during
order entry. When a lookup is performed on an IV ADDITIVE, if there
are QUICK CODES defined for the IV ADDITIVE, the QUICK CODE
STRENGTH (#1) field and the USUAL IV SCHEDULE (#4) field from the
QUICK CODE Subfile (#52.61) will display next to the QUICK CODE.
If the QUICK CODE STRENGTH (#1) field is null, "N/A" will be displayed.
If the USUAL IV SCHEDULE (#4) field is null, "N/A" will be displayed.
For example:
Select ADDITIVE: CEFAZ
in routine PSSVIDRG for patch PSS*1.0*146 changed the code
1 CEFAZOLIN Additive Strength: 1 GM
- CEFAZ1GM - Quick Code Strength: 1 GM Schedule: N/A
