Prerequisites

In order to enter drugs, you need to have access to the menu Drug Enter/Edit through PSS MGR (Pharmacy Data Management). This menu comes by default in WorldVistA XUCORE (Core Menu).

Even though the menu is not locked, the entry routine checks for a bunch of security keys.

They are:

  • PSNMGR is needed to match/rematch to NATIONAL DRUG file
  • PSORPH or PSXCMOPMGR is needed for OUTPATIENT drugs; PSORPH for non-VA drugs
  • PSJU MGR is needed for UNIT DOSE drugs
  • PSJI MGR is needed for IV drugs
  • PSGWMGR is needed for WARD STOCK drugs
  • PSAMGR or PSA ORDERS is needed for DRUG ACCOUNTABILITY usage
  • PSDMGR is needed for CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES usage

What you really need is the following for a typical hospital implementation:

  • PSNMGR (to match the drug)
  • PSORPH (to mark drugs for outpatient and non-VA)
  • PSJU MGR (to mark drugs for Unit Dose)
  • PSJI MGR (to mark drugs for IV)

If you cannot match/rematch a drug; AND/OR get the following message:

You do not have the proper keys to continue. Sorry, this concludes your editing session.

then you are missing security keys.

IF YOU DO NOT MATCH A DRUG, IT WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN DRUG-DRUG, DRUG-FOOD, AND DRUG-Allergy INTERACTIONS

Here are two sessions on entering a drug. The first is when you are entering a drug marketed in the US; and second is in a case you are using VISTA outside of the US and entering a drug not found in the US. Because I am lazy, the first example has most of the annotations.
