It looks as if my original message did not come through here it is. Nancy, You will be asked for Interdivisional processing only if you have more that one entry in file 59, most clinics will only need one entry in file 59. DO NOT USE FileMan to change the entries in this file use the option in the Outpatient menus. For the setting of the AutoFinish specific fields you can you FileMan. You need to have the Outpatient site parameters as defined in the user's guide, if not AF will have issues, the parameters are used to guide the med order through a specific path in the code. For GT.M you need to setup the print device as we defined in the old HUI manual for AF.

RE: [Hardhats-members] National Drug Codes (NDC) headaches. Anyone have input?
Here is the official info from fda.gov on NDC codes: NDC Number Each listed drug product listed is assigned a unique 10-digit, 3-segment number. This number, known as the NDC, identifies the labeler, product, and trade package size. The first segment, the labeler code, is assigned by the FDA. A labeler is any firm that manufactures (including repackers or relabelers), or distributes (under its own name) the drug. The second segment, the product code, identifies a specific strength, dosage form, and formulation for a particular firm. The third segment, the package code, identifies package sizes and types. Both the product and package codes are assigned by the firm. The NDC will be in one of the following configurations: 4-4-2, 5-3-2, or 5-4-1. An asterisk may appear in either a product code or a package code. It simply acts as a place holder and indicates the configuration of the NDC. Since the NDC is limited to 10 digits, a firm with a 5 digit labeler code must choose between a 3 digit product code and 2 digit package code, or a 4 digit product code and 1 digit package code. Thus, you have either a 5-4-1 or a 5-3-2 configuration for the three segments of the NDC. Because of a conflict with the HIPAA standard of an 11 digit NDC, many programs will pad the product code or package code segments of the NDC with a leading zero instead of the asterisk. Since a zero can be a valid digit in the NDC, this can lead to confusion when trying to reconstitute the NDC back to its FDA standard. Example: 12345-0678-09 (11 digits) could be 12345-678-09 or 12345-678-90 depending on the firm's configuration. By storing the segments as character data and using the * as place holders we eliminate the confusion. In the example, FDA stores the segments as 12345-*678-09 for a 5-3-2 configuration or 12345-0678-*9 for a 5-4-1 configuration. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Toppenberg Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 8:50 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] National Drug Codes (NDC) headaches.

RE: [Hardhats-members] National Drug Codes (NDC) headaches. Anyone have input?
I to have never seen the * character used on a med package, but I have came across the occasional NDC database that has asterisks in it. The paragraphs are pulled directly from the FDA site and they are consistent to what I understand NDC's to be and how I have used them. The real pain to me for and NDC is that a company can take a NDC they retired years ago and attach it to a new product today, now you may have an old database pointing to one product but the new NDC is for something else. As far as the 12 digit field in VistA for the NDC number it is because the National Drug file stores both NDC's and UPC's in the same field for a product, the UPC used is a 12 digit code. So what they do in the NDF with NDC's is put one more leading zero one the 11 digit code to make it a 12 digit. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ruben Safir Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 10:31 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] National Drug Codes (NDC) headaches.

You will NEVER see an astisk in the NDC number printed on the lable of a drug. You will almost ALWAYS see a two digit product code on the end. Confusion is always related to leading zeros, not 90 09 and the complete 11 digit number does define the drug completely.

However, I still can't enter a new progress note via CPRS as System Manager - no titles are available to be picked and it won't let me go on without picking one. I was able to view the document classes and titles using TIU and there are several that are already pre-populated. They are all active and owned by Clinical Coordinator. So, I know they're in there already - just not being seen in CPRS. So, here's a summary of the status: System Manager - can login into CPRS and view progress note created by Clinical Coordinator, but can't create progress note in CPRS Clinical Coordinator - can create progress note through command line menu, but can't login into CPRS (I'm working on fixing that now). Test Physician - can login into CPRS, but can view Clinical Coordinator's progress note entry and can't create a progress note. So, I'm thinking I'm really close - that there might be a change in the TIU document class/titles to make the titles viewable in CPRS or there's an user setting that needs to be made to let them view the document classes/titles.

[Hardhats-members] VistA Imaging (OsiriX)
I do not at all understand the issues related to VistA Imaging, but I ran across an article where radiologist are using iPOD's to store images. The product is OsiriX and is opensource could this be part of an opensource solution for VistA Imaging?

Re: [Hardhats-members] Fwd: Text of Article from Modern Physician
Bill, Im glad you mentioned the California HealthCare Foundation and this article; Ive found the information there quite helpful over the years (www.chcf.org). When Forrester Research published, Electronic Medical Records: A buyers Guide for Small Physician Practices, last year they included the spreadsheet EMR Evaluation Tool for one to use to evaluate other EMR products. Even though I did not necessary agree with the weighting and all the evaluation criteria that this study used, I used it to evaluate VistA when the tool came out. Based on my opinion, personal experience and personal bias using the EMR Evaluation tool, VistA fell into the Strong Performers range of the Forrester Wave chart, it was not the lowest that score of the group but if my memory serves me it was close. I am positive that others would get other scores, both above and below what I scored it at. Now, I gave my evaluation a bit of free reign and as my memory serves me it was as follows: The references to a Relation database I just ignored. (I will agree to disagree on the MUMPS debate.) The references to a Browser-Based Graphical user interface I score based on Graphical which CPRS is. Where they talked about support I used Average. Where they talked to a companys executive team about the future I used Adequate. Where they looked at Market Presence I scored it as if the VA was part of it. I am sure there were other places in the scoring that I used my opinionbut I tried to be fair in my understanding of VistA. I am in the western part of North Dakota until Tuesday when I fly out to DC, I will try to find my scoring sheet for this when Im back in Fargo if anybody is interested please drop me a line and I will forward it to you. One of the reason I never brought this tool up to the VistA community is that I did this as an exercise for myself and what I took away from this exercise is that VistA is a viable option to other similar products on the market today. Also, that there is work to be done on many levels of VistAfrom the coding to the installing, training and support of VistA and these are opportunities for us all. The time to do this is now.

Glad to. Thanks for asking. Please note that I did not choose Logician as an example because I think it's a market-leading product. Not even close, based on my own experience leading a due diligence project for a group of 7 neurology practices last year, and based on published results from folks like the AC Group and TEPR. I chose it precisely *because* it's not. I'd like the group to consider the market reality that even a mediocre product can win the day (remember Windows vs. Mac?). I have used Logician as a clinician (Last time was 2.5 years ago and I do not remember the version), but my experience is that VistA/ CPRS is a better, friendlier product that was superior in many regards. Ease of use, which is what I interpret "better, friendlier" to mean, is an important but very subjective measure. Certainly not the only one that's recommended that physicians evaluate in their selection criteria. I'll use the high-level criteria recommended by Forrester Research in their October 2003 paper, "Electronic Medical Records: A Buyer's Guide for Small Physician Practices" prepared for the California Healthcare Foundation. You can find it at http://www.chcf.org/documents/ihealth/ForresterEMRBuyersGuideRevise.pdf Forrester recommends three high level criteria: 1) The quality of the current offering, including features, ease of use, support and service, and cost; 2) The vendor's strategy, meaning the future plans the company has for its EMR; and 3) The vendor's market presence, in terms of financial strength, customer base, and partnerships with other firms. I've dealt with these in some detail below, but will sum it up here. The lack of documentation and M-base combine to make it very hard to forecast VistA's viability if it has to compete with other Open Source EMR systems with established reputations and market presence. From a market perspective, it boils down to supply and demand. If demand for EMR systems increases and the supply of people capable of installing, servicing, and enhancing VistA does not, physicians will choose VistA's competitors. As an example from another market, there are lots of people who want to buy a Hybrid car (the waiting list for a Toyota Prius is 9 months to a year). Some consumers wait. Most just buy something else. So, for the sake of discussion, let's take a look at how the Logician "salesman" might present his case based on Forrester's recomended selection criteria. 1) The q
