Keys Needed for Pharm. Setup

David Whitten 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) holds ALL possible drugs. Some people refer to this as the National Drug File.
• DRUG file (file #50) holds all the drugs in the local formulary. This links to above.
• PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file (file #50.7) holds things that can be ordered from the pharmacy. This links to above.
• ORDERABLE ITEM file (file #101.43) hols things that can be ordered, including labs and drugs. This links to above.
• ORDER QUICK VIEW file (file #101.44) holds "quick order" entries. This links to above.

Learned so far 1. For meds to show up in the dialog box in CPRS, it must have a entry like this:

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
     record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)   ... a drug would go here
     record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)   ... a drug would go here
     record: SET MEMBER: _IEN_ pointer to 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM)   ... a drug would go here

2. In file 101.43 (ORDERABLE ITEM) an entry for the drug must exist like this:

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.)

Relevent Menu Options

Here is a pharmacy option/menu setup I gathered:

  cv     Protocol Conversion Utilities ... [ORCM CONVERSION UTILITIES]
  Mgr    Pharmacy Data Management ... [PSS MGR]
  NDF    National Drug File Menu ... [PSNMGR]
  Out    Outpatient Pharmacy Manager ... [PSO MANAGER]
         Drug Accountability Menu ... [PSA DRUG ACCOUNTABILITY MENU]
         Drug Receipt History Review [PSA DRUG HISTORY]
         Drug Transaction History [PSA DRUG DISPLAY]
         Enter/Edit a Drug [PSA DRUG ENTER/EDIT]
         Inquire/Compare DRUG file/ITEM MASTER file [PSA DRUG INQUIRE]

I have tried to enter a new pharmacy orderable items and drugs through the PDM Drug enter/edit program. After the drug is put in, I can order it from the character-based CPRS but it does not display in the Medication Order dialog box for the GUI CPRS.

The only inpatient medication orderable items that display in the GUI CPRS are items contained in the record "ORWDSET UD RX" in the file ORDER

QUICK VIEW. But new updates to the drugs and orderable items do not effect this record. Any idea how I should enter new drugs and/or pharmacy orderable items so they will appear on the GUI CPRS too?

Thanks,

Wei Wang Oleen Healthcare Information Management

The reason was that we didn't start TaskMan while entering the drugs so job of "updating Quick View" is scheduled but not run. After we started TaskMan and waited for a little while, all drugs now show nicely in the GUI interface.

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

Hi Finally I am able to see the drugs and order them from CPRS. Nancy's old mail really helped. A record has to be added into the ORDER QUICK VIEW file. This file probably holds the parameters required by CPRS. The new record is something like: Name : ORWDSET O RX QUICK ORDER : PS MEDS SET MEMBER : "ORDERABLE ITEM" Regards Nick

I have been tinkering with being able to order medications in CPRS.

Based on recent posts, it seems that an entry is required in the ORDER QUICK VIEW file, in the record: ORWDSET O RX. Here is my file now:

Select ORDER QUICK VIEW NAME: orwdset O RX ANOTHER ONE: STANDARD CAPTIONED OUTPUT? Yes// (Yes) Include COMPUTED fields: (N/Y/R/B): NO// b BOTH Computed Fields and Record Number (IEN)

NUMBER: 2 NAME: ORWDSET O RX

 LAST UPDATE: 59653,46064

QUICK ORDER: PS MEDS DISPLAY TEXT: <Some text> SET MEMBER: CALCIUM DISPLAY TEXT: (CALCIUM)

Now, rather when getting an error when trying to order a medicine, I am given chose of ordering one "medicine" -- namely calcium.

So it seems that I need to load my formulary into this file.

When I look at the data structure for the file, though, I see that the drug (in this case "calcium") is stored as a free text name, not a pointer to the DRUG file (file # 50).

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

Thanks Kevin

Hi The SET MEMBER comes from the PHARMACY ORDERABLE ITEM file for medications. Drugs can be added into this file through the DRUG ENTER/EDIT option. Bye Nick

Nick,

Thanks for you help so far.

I have explored the DRUG ENTER/EDIT option (option: 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.

Any ideas about how to get this populated?

Thanks Kevin

The pointer is from the Drug file #50 I believe. I got something to work by putting someting into the orderables file. I know there a pointer from the drug file to the orderables file. Jim Gray
