Pharmacy Information MEDITECH Magic since 1990 Pyxis machines in all areas No inpatient cart fill Meds loaded and unloaded as needed  Custom load reports Manual MAR, Not generated by MEDITECH

Pyxis Information First line of label comments flows to Pyxis machine and displays for nurse Dose is not always the same unit stored in Pyxis  2 tabs  ½ tabs  Injections: Solumedrol 80 mg (1.28 ml)

Pharmacy Enters Label Comments To aid nursing, pharmacy would enter dose comments in line 1 of label comments.  Pharmacy tried for standard format:  Examples: Dose: 1.28 ML = 80 MG  Solumedrol 80mg (125 mg/2 ml) Dose: 1.5 TABS X 40 MG = 60 MG  Furosemide 40 mg tab

Problems with Pharmacy Entry Format not consistent  Goal was for nurse to see volume or number of tabs before size of product I.e.: Dose: 1.5 TABS x 40 MG = 60 mg vs.: Dose: 40 mg x 1.5 Tabs = 60 mg Possibility for error due to calculation or typo

Solution Rule determines if dose is different than dispensing size.  If different: Rule calculates dose string Rule prompts user with string User specifies if rule sets first line in label comments Customized post live No messages for: Senokot 2 tabs  Dose 1 x 2 TABS = 2 TABS

What Displays Varies if tabs/caps versus liquids/injections Tabs/Caps:  *Dose: 0.5 TABS X 20 MG = 10 MG  *Dose: 2 TABS X 20 MG = 40 MG Liquids/Injections:  *Dose: 1.28 ML = 80 MG  We put an “*” to indicate which ones computer set (quality assurance)

Actual Display

Key Points Rule only sets comment if user selects “Y”  If comments exist, they are moved down 1 line What it is going to be does not display unless user enter/Edit label comments  Once user enters “Y” at Edit label Comments, set comments display If doing multiple dose edits on same rx, best to exist and come in and make one change  Have done, without problems

When Select Edit Label Comments

Computer Set One Rule Numerous Custom Keywords Most keywords pull simple data Two keywords more extensive  Determines units/dose  Runs report to set Label Comments Keyword used in rule runs NPR report which puts the comments into the data structure

Simple Keywords z label.comment.1 z dose.and.unit Z drug.order.size  Z drug.order.unit 

More Complex Keywords #1 z disp.form.p.dose.un IF{(V2=V3)&(AF'=V1A) 1, IF{V2'=V1 1, V1:10D/V2^VR, VR:3D^VR, %Z.strip.trailing.zeros(VR)^MSDOSE, "*Dose: "_MSDOSE_" "_VF_"S X "_V3_" "_V1A_" = "_V1_" "_V1A^/Z.INFO}; IF{(AF'=V1A) 1, ST1:10D/ST2^CON, %Z.strip.trailing.zeros(CON)^CON, V1:10D/CON^VR, VR:3D^VR, %Z.strip.trailing.zeros(VR)_" "_VU^MSDOSE, "*Dose: "_MSDOSE_" = "_V1_" "_V1A^/Z.INFO};1;1}}

More Complex Keyword #2 z set.lab.com.1.4  %PHA.RX.zcus.hab.rule.label.comment.1.4.M.ck(urn);  Rule runs report which files data to data structure
