Pharmacy Issues

This page will contain notes to work out pharmacy programming issues.

Keys Needed for Pharm. Setup
We searched pharmacy routines and found keys that were needed for some of the pharmacy setup routines. Here are the keys that were found: PSA ORDERS, PSAMGR, PSJ RPWARN, PSB MANAGER, PSB CPRS MED BUTTON, PSB INSTRUCTOR, PROVIDER, PSD TECH, PSDMGR, PSD BUMGR, PSD ERROR, PSD PARAM, PSD TRAN

Summary of Pharmacy File Linkages

What I Have Learned so Far

1. File 50.7 (PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM): **A Record in this file should be created first. .01 field should be the generic name of the drug. When the Record is created, an entry in fle 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM) will automatically be made. Also, a Record in in ORDER QUICK VIEW will also be created (but it is incomplete--see below.) Note: new drugs may not be added unless PSEDITNM>0. So to setup a drug in fileman, set PSEDITNM=1 from the command-line, then DO D^DI to get into Fileman with vars intact. In the MED ROUTE field, the input transform does not allow an input of "ORAL". (If left blank ORAL will be shown in CPRS) This file can hold the synonyms of a drug etc. When this Record is created, for some reason it is automatically given the current date in the INACTIVE DATE field--meaning it is created in an inactive state. One must go back and edit the Record a second time to remove the entry from this field. File 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM), field ID holds a text pointer to this file, e.g.  "10;99PSP" < 10 is IEN in file #50.7 There is no pointer field from file 50.7 up to file 50. The link is FROM file #50 TO #50.7 (via file #50's field 2.1(PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM)). HOWEVER, File #50's  "ASP" cross-reference for the field "PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM (#2.1) i.e.   ^PSDRUG("ASP",IEN_in_50.7,*), contains list of linked Records in file #50

2. In file# 50 (DRUG, ^PSDRUG): This file will hold a separate Record for every different medication/tablet size. For example, there will be one for AMOXICILLIN 250, and another for AMOXICILLIN 500. Both of the above Records would be linked to one Record in the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM, i.e. an AMOXICILLIN Record. The link should be in field 2.1 (the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM field), which will hold a pointer to file 50.7 (PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file) 3. In file 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM) an entry for the drug must exist like this: This entry should have been made automatically when the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM was created. file 101.43 Record: .01 NAME = LISINOPRIL 2 ID = "Unique identifier, created from primary key passed in the                   Orderable Items update message from each package; it will be                    in the form of 'package code;99XXX' where XXX indicates the                    package table originating this item (i.e. RAP,LRT,etc.)                   [e.g. in my system, then entry for DILTIAZEM TAB is 1;99PSP]                   "Package code" should be the IEN on the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM (#50.7)

4. 101.44 (ORDER QUICK VIEW) For meds to show up in the dialog box in CPRS, it must have a entry like this: Again, this entry should have been created automatically when the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM was created. But for some reason, the DISPLAY TEXT field is not filled in. Without this, the drug will not appear in CPRS. So this must be manually supplied.

file: 101.44 (ORDER QUICK VIEW); Record: ORWDSET O RX; subfile: SET MEMBER (101.442) Record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)  ... a drug would go here DISPLAY TEXT: "A name to appear in CPRS appears here.

RPC Calls
ORWUL^FVSUB -- gets the list of drugs to display in the box.

ORWDXA ISACTOI

ORWDPS1 FAILDEA

ORWOR PKISITE

When a drug is selected in the new medicine dialog, the following RPC's are called:

ORWDPS2 OISLCT example params: 1158,0,1,Y,N

Remote procedure file details for this: OISLCT^ORWDPS2(LST,OI,PSTYPE,ORVP,NEEDPI,PKIACTIV)

Completion of [[CPRS~|CPRS] drug orders
The menu option for completing a medication order entered in CPRS is PSO LMOE FINISH

This menu option causes execution of code: DO ^PSOORFIN The code for PSOORFIN.m in my VOE folder has a copyright GNU GPL WorldVista. This is different from the one in my older server setup.

File 52.41 holds PENDING OUTPATIENT ORDERS And after the order is "finished" via the above order, it is removed from this file.

---older stuff below

This is a debug trace. First, I entered a drug in CPRS, but didn't sign it....

CPRS gets name of drug order (unsigned) via ORWORR GETTXT Params: "239;1" Results: PENICILLIN TAB 250MG TAKE ONE TABLET BY MOUTH TWICE A DAY Quantity: 20 Refills: 0 *UNSIGNED* Above, 239;1 is the link to the drug order. It comes from: ORWORR AGET Params:  "70774", "2^0", "1", "0", "0", "" Results - 10^2^ 239;1^4^3080202.1616^^    <- the drug order 229;1^43^3080201.1208^^ ... I then signed the order in CPRS. It is now displayed on the medications tab. Here is the RPC that got that:

ORWPS ACTIVE Params "70774" Results ~OP^44P;O^PENICILLIN TAB 250 MG^^^^^^239^PENDING^^^20^^0 PENICILLIN TAB 250 MG Qty: 20 \ Sig: TAKE ONE TABLET BY MOUTH TWICE A DAY After a drug is entered in CPRS, it is put into: file 52.41 - PENDING OUTPATIENT ORDERS

--- Now, to complete the prescription, must go to Terminal mode.

menu options: PSO MANAGER --> PSO RX --> PSO LM BACKDOOR ORDERS

From there I am taken into a screenman form where I can view and update the patient information. I press ENTER twice, and then I am shown the prescription that is pending (i.e. signed in CPRS).

I am able to edit the prescription. And then I enter FN to finish the prescription.

From there I am prompted: Select New Rx # for TEST,KEVIN: ?? ENTER A VALID PRESCRIPTION NUMBER OR BARCODE PRESCRIPTION NUMBER OR 'P' TO GET A PATIENT PROFILE (works only if in the OUTPATIENT package) This is the prescription number. Select New Rx # for TEST,KEVIN: ''Initially I had a problem, but then got this working, after fixing a bug in my version of the PSO code. I kept getting a crash at ACP+6^PSOORNEW when I would enter a prescription number. I stepped through it and found that PSONEW("QFLG") was not being set, which then caused a "variable-doesn't-exist" error. I wrapped this in a $G and the code was able to continue and complete the prescription. ... Another problem was that I didn't have the setting correct regarding automatically numbering prescriptions. I needed to set that to "YES", and then give an upper and lower range and a last-prescribed value into a fields 27000...''

Tracing through the code, I find the following stack (order of execution) (earliest calls on the bottom) when I break at the first Prompt after launching a FN finish.

EN^PSON52       <-- create new entry in prescription file ACP+10^PSOORNEW <-- Module: display orders from oerr LOOP+6^XQOR1    <-- Kernel Unwinder code STAK+3^XQOR1    <-- Kernel Unwinder code ASK+1^VALM      <-- ListMan code EN+8^VALM       <-- ListMan code EN+1^PSOLMPO    <-- starts ListMan session to allow FN to be chosen PST+42^PSOORFI1 <-- shows order ORD+14^PSOORFIN <-- Module: finish CPRS orders OK^PSOORNE5 NEWSEL+2^PSOORNE2 NEWSEL+1^PSOORNE2 NEWSEL+1^PSOLMUTL ...

My goal was to see if I could create an API out of this process, so that the launching of completion of the FN could be done programatically.

I did find that EN^PSON52(PSOX) seems to be a key entry point. It is called from ACP^PSOORNEW

Starting in ACP^PSOORNEW, I found that PSONEW is modified. Then it is passed as PSOX into EN^PSON52. So the question is, what is setup prior to this call?

PSODRUG seems to contain the info for the drug that has been prescribed.

PSODRUG("CLN")=269 PSODRUG("COST")="" PSODRUG("DEA")="" PSODRUG("EXPIRATION DATE")="" PSODRUG("OIN")="A-HYDROCORT INJ" PSODRUG("SIG")="USE AS DIRECTED" PSODRUG("UNIT")="" PSODRUG("VA CLASS")="HS051"

PSONEW contains other info

PSONEW("# OF REFILLS")=0 PSONEW("CHCS NUMBER")="" PSONEW("CLERK CODE")=73 PSONEW("CLINIC")=6 PSONEW("DAYS SUPPLY")=30 PSONEW("DFLG")=0 PSONEW("DOSE",1)="54;14" PSONEW("DOSE ORDERED",1)=1 PSONEW("DURATION",1)="" PSONEW("ENT")=1 PSONEW("EXTERNAL SYSTEM")="" PSONEW("FILL DATE")=3090404 PSONEW("ISSUE DATE")="APR 4,2009" PSONEW("MAIL/WINDOW")="W" PSONEW("NOUN",1)="" PSONEW("PATIENT STATUS")=20 PSONEW("PROVIDER")=73 PSONEW("PROVIDER NAME")="TOPPENBERG,KEVIN S" PSONEW("QFLG")=0 PSONEW("QTY")=60 PSONEW("REMARKS")="" PSONEW("ROUTE",1)=1 PSONEW("SCHEDULE",1)="BID" PSONEW("UNITS",1)=1391 PSONEW("VERB",1)="TAKE"

By the end of ACP, PSONEW has had the following fields added:

PSONEW("NEWCOPAY")=0 PSONEW("OLD LAST RX#",8)=22 PSONEW("POE")=1 PSONEW("RX #")=23

After passed as PSORX into EN^PSON52, the values are as below. Notice that drug name is still missing, so I think that PSODRUG is also still required.

PSOX("# OF REFILLS")=0 PSOX("CHCS NUMBER")="" PSOX("CLERK CODE")=73 PSOX("CLINIC")=6 PSOX("DAYS SUPPLY")=30 PSOX("DFLG")=0 PSOX("DOSE",1)="5;30;100" PSOX("DOSE ORDERED",1)=1 PSOX("DURATION",1)="" PSOX("ENT")=1 PSOX("EXTERNAL SYSTEM")="" PSOX("FILL DATE")=3090403 PSOX("ISSUE DATE")="APR 3,2009" PSOX("MAIL/WINDOW")="W" PSOX("NEWCOPAY")=0 PSOX("NOUN",1)="" PSOX("OLD LAST RX#",8)=22 PSOX("PATIENT STATUS")=20 PSOX("POE")=1 PSOX("PROVIDER")=73 PSOX("PROVIDER NAME")="TOPPENBERG,KEVIN S" PSOX("QFLG")=0 PSOX("QTY")=5 PSOX("REMARKS")="" PSOX("ROUTE",1)=1 PSOX("RX #")=23 PSOX("SCHEDULE",1)="NOW" PSOX("UNITS",1)=967 PSOX("VERB",1)="TAKE"

After creating the new entry, the pending entry is deleted here DCORD+1^PSONEW2

So the next question is, how can I populate PSONEW given an IEN in the pending orders file?

--- After the drug is completed in the Terminal, it is removed from File 52.41 holds PENDING OUTPATIENT ORDERS.

However, from CPRS, it is still the same RPC call [ORWPS ACTIVE] that gets the list of active medications--both those Pending (await terminal-mode completion, meaning that they are in the PENDING OUTPATIENT ORDERS) and those that are completed.
