Refer to the Vista documentation, Pharmacy Data Management (PDM) User Manual, Section 1.9, where Orderable Items are discussed. If the orderable item (in file 50.7) is created, and matched to the local drug file (50), the item will be visible in CPRS to order.
The specific drug file which has to be populated is the local drug file (file 50) created through PDM Drug Enter/Edit, not PSA Drug Enter/Edit. This file (50) is also a different drug file than the National Drug File, as described in the PSN module documentation. Unfortunately, I do not think there is an automated way to populate File 50 with locally used drugs. The reason the "matching" to orderable item, and the "marking" for inpatient, outpatient, etc. functions exist in PDM Drug Enter/Edit is that it is easier for the physician, (and reduces potential for error during item selection), to have a short list of drugs available in CPRS to select, rather than a list of 5000 or so. There are differences in the drug lists for inpatient and outpatient use, although some items will be common to both. PSA Drug Enter/Edit involves pharmacy inventory management, and the locations created therein refer to locations of the drugs, (for ward stock or satellite pharmacy inventory management) not locations of the patients. Also, I believe there is a way to configure CPRS, so that the physician does not have to select whether or not he is ordering inpatient, or outpatient drugs. If CPRS is configured accordingly, when the patient is selected, the patient's location (an inpatient bed, clinic location, etc) determines the ordering module (inpatient or outpatient) displayed to the physician for order entry. I hope this helps clarify the matter further. Toni Beare Petersen, R.Ph. American Healthcare Solutions, Inc.

But I at least have put this issue to the back burner for now. I've not solved it yet (i.e. I haven't figure out how the system works yet.)
