Pharmacy Data Management Steve Bowman R. Ph. Information Systems Consulting
Course Objectives • Describe the PDM – Environment – Terminology – Tools • Tips for proper set up & maintenance • Identify common pharmacy problems in EHR • Review solutions
Overview • Proper pharmacy package configuration • Foundation for E. H. R. • Crucial to successful P. O. E • Impacts all disciplines • Providers • Nurses • pharmacy
Configuration Files • More than just the Drug file – 6 files involved • Each file is responsible for the components required to – Build Sigs in the prescription processing – Interface correctly with other RPMS components • Point of Sale (POS) • Physician Order Entry (POE)
Configuration Files
PDM Tools • Standard Files (Schedules, Routes, Pt. Instructions) • SIG Defaults
Terminology - Routes • The Medication Route file – Must contain all routes that a site wants to use on their Rx labels • Standard List in Appendix A of Pharmacy 5 -7 Handbook • Forbidden Abbreviations must be modified or deleted – AU, AS, OU, OS etc. – Use Med Route/Instructions Table Maintenance option on PDM to set up – Outpatient Expansion field Text that will print on the label • Includes any prepositions needed for I. E. ORAL, should be BY MOUTH instead of MOUTH – Delete all prepositions from the Dosage Form File – Package Use field ALL (inpatient & outpatient) • Two types of routes – Routes – that are associated with Dosage Forms (only used for Oral drugs) – Default routes – that are associated with Pharmacy Orderable Items (for all non-orals) – If a Drug has a Default Route that is what appears on the label (the routes column is ignored) – All non Oral drugs need a default route manually entered for them even if they have what appears to be an appropriate entry in the Route column (NSYN) • Drugs/Orderables can only have one route value associated with them • e. g. Ophthalmic drops would default to Affected Eye(s) but could manually change to Left or right eye as needed • Can manually change a route during prescription processing or in Quick Order Creation
ADDING MEDICATION ROUTES • PDM Med. Route/Instructions Table Maintenance Select Pharmacy Data Management Option: Med. Route/Instructions Table Maintenance Select MEDICATION ROUTES NAME: TOPICAL SOAK Are you adding 'TOPICAL SOAK ' as a new MEDICATION ROUTES (the 250 TH)? No// Y MEDICATION ROUTES ABBREVIATION: NAME: TOPICAL SOAK// ABBREVIATION: PACKAGE USE: ALL PACKAGES OUTPATIENT EXPANSION: IN WATER, SOAK THE AFFECTED AREA Would you like to update the Dosage Form file? Y// NO
Terminology – Standard Schedules • The Administration Schedule file – Must contain all schedules that a site wants to use on their Rx labels • Standard List in Appendix A of Pharmacy 5 -7 Handbook • Must Delete/Edit forbidden Abbreviations – QOD , QD, etc. – Use Standard Schedule Edit on PDM to set up – Key Fields • Outpatient Expansion Text that will print on the label • Type of Schedule – CONTINUOUS takes place on a regular basis i. e. 'three times a day' or 'once every two days' – DAY OF THE WEEK takes place only on specific days of the week » should have admin times (If not, the start time of the order is used) » Name must be in the form of 'MO-WE-FR‘ (first 2 letters of the day) – ONE-TIME takes place only at a specific date and time. • Frequency # of times dose will be given per day divided into 1440 minutes » BID = 1440/2 = 720 TID = 1440/3 = 480 » Used to calculate quantity dispensed • Standard Administration Times Used for Inpatient » i. e. 06 -10 -16 -22
ENTERING SCHEDULES PDM STANDARD SCHEDULE EDIT Select ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE: QDAY Are you adding 'QDAY' as a new ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE (the 14 TH)? No// Y (Yes) NAME: QDAY// OUTPATIENT EXPANSION: EVERY DAY TYPE OF SCHEDULE: CONTINUOUS// CONTINUOUS STANDARD ADMINISTRATION TIMES: FREQUENCY (IN MINUTES): 1440// Select WARD: force an entry by using “ ” i. e. if MO was already in the file NAME: “MO-WED-FRI” OUTPATIENT EXPANSION: ON MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, AND FRIDAYS TYPE OF SCHEDULE: CONTINUOUS// DAY OF THE WEEK STANDARD ADMINISTRATION TIMES: FREQUENCY (IN MINUTES): 1440 Select WARD:
Terminology – Medication Instructions • The Medication Instructions file – Only used by the outpatient module – Contains abbreviations for patient information that appears at the end of the Rx label i. e FPA FOR PAIN TWF TAKE WITH FOOD • Standard List in Appendix A of Pharmacy 5 -7 Handbook – Use Medication Instruction File Add/Edit on PDM menu – Key Fields • • Medication Instruction Name The abbreviation Expansion Text that will print on the label Package Use ALL (inpatient & outpatient) Leave other fields blank (Synonym, Med Route, Schedule)
Adding Med Instructions • PDM > Medication Instruction File Add/Edit Select MEDICATION INSTRUCTION NAME: SWB// SYNONYM: EXPANSION: **SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING** Replace PLURAL: INTENDED USE: IN & OUTPATIENT// MED ROUTE: Leave Blank SCHEDULE: Leave Blank
Terminology – Synonyms • Two Uses – Drug File– Quick Codes Not seen in EHR • for use by Pharmacy to select drugs quickly • Use Drug Enter/Edit to add/modify the Synonym(s) – If enter Trade Name type here it does NOT show up in EHR – Do NOT enter the NDC here use NDC field further down – Pharmacy Orderable Item File (trade names) • for use by Providers to select meds in POE/EHR • Use Edit Orderable Items to add/modify the Synonym(s) field
Terminology – Dosages • Correct setup & maintenance is critical for successful POE • Two Types – Dosages • Single entity tablets & capsules • Comprised of - Strength – Dispense Units – Package Use • A dosage of 1 and 2 is automatically created when adding new items with Drug Enter/Edit – Must manually add any others i. e. . 5, 3, 4 etc. – PDM Dosages Enter/Edit – Local Possible Dosages (LPDs) • All other Drug file entries Combination drugs (tabs & Caps) Drugs with % strengths Inhalers Rectal/Vaginal Liquids (suspensions, syrups, solutions) Ophthalmics/Otics Topicals Injections • Comprised of - Quantity – Noun – Package Use – Should include article where needed for label » A THIN LAYER or THE ENTIRE CONTENTS • Must enter these in manually – PDM Dosages Enter/Edit • won't display for drugs that use Dosages – i. e. single Entity tablets and capsules
