No offense taken, Elsie. But what if there is no pharmacist?
I now know much more about VistA, though not enough to install a hospital
pharmacy :-)  So do not think I have the answer to all problems... BUT

Almost 20 years ago, I managed to print real pretty prescriptions on the
LaserJet but could not conquer the IHS pharmacy package, the NDF, etc. etc.  
I kludged together my own little phamacy package and was able to select the
drug from that. When I needed to print a new medication, not in the database,
I added it that once and it was there for future use.

In my community health center today I would have access to the formulary of
the pharmacy that provides most of our patients' prescriptions and could
havest that into my own formulary. 

Today I might add a web spider to go look up info on a drug, including
packaging, cost, patient education materials. But I would not have a
pharmacist until the practice reaches some critical size that would justify
the cost.
