What I Have Learned so Far
 
What I Have Learned so Far
  
1. For meds to show up in the dialog box in CPRS, it must have a entry like this:
+
1. '''File 50.7 (PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM):'''
file: 101.44 (ORDER QUICK VIEW)
+
   **A [[record~|Record]] in this file should be created first.  
   record: ORWDSET O RX;  
+
  .01 field should be the generic name of the drug.
    subfile: SET MEMBER (101.442)
+
  When the [[record~|Record]] is created, an entry in fle 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM) will automatically be made.
      record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)  ... a drug would go here
+
   Also, a [[record~|Record]] in in ORDER QUICK VIEW will also be created (but it is incomplete--see below.)
      record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)  ... a drug would go here
+
  Note: new drugs may not be added unless PSEDITNM>0. So to setup a drug in fileman,
      record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)   ... a drug would go here
+
        set PSEDITNM=1 from the command-line, then DO D^DI to get into Fileman with vars intact.
      record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)  ... a drug would go here
+
  In the MED ROUTE field, the input transform does not allow an input of "ORAL". (If left
 +
  blank ORAL will be shown in [[CPRS~|CPRS]])
 +
   This file can hold the synonyms of a drug etc.
 +
  When this [[record~|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~|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 [[record~|Record]]s in file #50
  
2. In file 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM) an entry for the drug must exist like this:
+
 
file 101.43
+
2. In '''file# 50 (DRUG, ^PSDRUG):'''
   record: .01 NAME = LISINOPRIL
+
  This file will hold a separate [[record~|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 [[record~|Record]]s would be linked to one [[record~|Record]] in the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM,
 +
  i.e. an AMOXICILLIN [[record~|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~|Record]]: .01 NAME = LISINOPRIL
 
             2 ID = "Unique identifier, created from primary key passed in the  
 
             2 ID = "Unique identifier, created from primary key passed in the  
 
                   Orderable Items update message from each package; it will be  
 
                   Orderable Items update message from each package; it will be  
Line 38: Line 65:
 
                   "Package code" should be the IEN on the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM (#50.7)
 
                   "Package code" should be the IEN on the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM (#50.7)
  
3. In file 50 (DRUG, ^PSDRUG), there must be an entry coresponding to the ID from 101.43 above. i.e. The ASP cross-reference for field "PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM (#2.1) i.e. ^PSDRUG("ASP",ID,*) should existActually, there must be some transform because I can't find any entry for ^PSDRUG("ASP","1;99PSP",*)
+
4. '''101.44 (ORDER QUICK VIEW)'''  For meds to show up in the dialog box in [[CPRS~|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~|CPRS]]So this must be manually supplied.
  
4. To edit file 50.7 (PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM), new drugs may not be added unless PSEDITNM>0. Also, in the MED ROUTE field, the input transform does not allow an input of "ORAL". If the MED ROUTE is left blank, I believe the default to be shown in CPRS is ORAL.
+
file: 101.44 (ORDER QUICK VIEW); 
 +
  [[record~|Record]]: ORWDSET O RX; 
 +
    subfile: SET MEMBER (101.442)
 +
      [[record~|Record]]: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)   ... a drug would go here
 +
              DISPLAY TEXT: "A name to appear in [[CPRS~|CPRS]] appears here.
 +
      [[record~|Record]]: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)  ... a drug would go here
 +
              DISPLAY TEXT: "A name to appear in [[CPRS~|CPRS]] appears here.
 +
      [[record~|Record]]: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)  ... a drug would go here
 +
              DISPLAY TEXT: "A name to appear in [[CPRS~|CPRS]] appears here.
 +
      [[record~|Record]]: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)  ... a drug would go here
 +
              DISPLAY TEXT: "A name to appear in [[CPRS~|CPRS]] appears here.
  
5. File #50, field 2.1 should contain a pointer to entry in 50.7, pharmacy orderable item.

=== Completion of [[CPRS~|CPRS] drug orders ===
Oleen Healthcare Information Management
+
The menu option for completing a medication order entered in [[CPRS~|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.
  
The reason was that we didn't start TaskMan while entering the drugs so job of "updating Quick View" is scheduled but not run.  
+
File 52.41 holds PENDING OUTPATIENT ORDERS
After we started TaskMan and waited for a little while, all drugs now show nicely in the GUI interface.
+
And after the order is "finished" via the above order, it is removed from this file.

Thanks to Todd in Iowa who helped us with resolve the problem!

''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...''

When I look at the data structure for the file,

I did find that EN^PSON52(PSOX) seems to be a key entry point. It is called from ACP^PSOORNEW
though, I see that the drug (in this case "calcium")

So how do I make this link, or am I off target?

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?

After creating the new entry, the pending entry is deleted here

  DCORD+1^PSONEW2
  
I have explored the DRUG ENTER/EDIT option (option:
+
So the next question is, how can I populate PSONEW given an IEN in the pending orders file?
PSA DRUG ENTER/EDIT) and found that I could
 
laboriously load up my forumulary with the drugs one
 
at a time -- clearly impossible for a full forumulary
 
(too many)
 
  
Then I found the option to Merge National Drug file
 
Datas into Local File (option: PSNMGR).  I did this,
 
and there were no errors.  Somewhere along the way I
 
created a "pharmacy" out of which to work in the
 
OUTPATIENT SITE file.  Now, when I got to the DRUG
 
ENTER/EDIT option, there are 5173 drugs loaded.
 
  
But when I go into Fileman, and look inthe PHARMACY
+
-------------------
ORDERABLE ITEM file, it is completely empty.
+
After the drug is completed in the Terminal, it is removed from File 52.41 holds PENDING OUTPATIENT ORDERS.
  
Any ideas about how to get this populated?
+
However, from [[CPRS~|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.
  
Thanks

This section got too long.  So moved to a separate page.
  
The pointer is from the Drug file #50 I believe.  I got something to

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

Initiated by K. Toppenberg 4/2005

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


Files and Relationships

  • VA PRODUCT file (file #50.68, ^PSNDF(50.68,*)) holds ALL possible drugs. Some people refer to this as the National Drug File. FILE 50.68
  • VA GENERIC file (file #50.6, ^PSNDF(50.6))
  • DRUG file (file #50, ^PSDRUG(*)) holds all the drugs in the local formulary. This links to above. FILE 50
  • PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file (file #50.7, ^PS(50.7,*)) holds things that can be ordered from the pharmacy. This links to above. FILE 50.7
  • ORDERABLE ITEM file (file #101.43, ^ORD(101.43,*)) holds things that can be ordered, including labs and drugs. This links to above. FILE 101.43
  • ORDER QUICK VIEW file (file #101.44, ^ORD(101.44,*)) holds "quick order" entries. This links to above. FILE 101.44
  • PENDING OUTPATIENT ORDERS file (file #52.41, ^PS(52.41,*)) holds prescription requests entries, to be approved by pharmacist FILE 52.41
  • PRESCRIPTION FILE file (file #52, ^PSRX(*)) holds prescriptions FILE 52

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.
     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.
     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.
     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.

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.
