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.

<i>Next is the matching process. If you have an NDC, your drug may be matched right away;
if not, it will try brand names (usually that never works); then it tries the first word of the Generic Name.
This is what it will do here. Remember, if you don't match the drug,
you don't get [[allergy~|Allergy]] or drug interactions.
Matching involves several steps before it's completed. Make sure to do them all.</i>
