Unit Dose - ATC

Look at the ATC MNEMONIC field (212.2) of the DRUG file (50)  for those drugs that the pick list wants to send to the ATC.   If there's data, try deleting it (for one or a few at first).

I have a few questions regarding pharmacy.  Here is what I have done
 
  • A Pharmacy Location has been set up which has to be linked to IV Room (option in the PBM).
  • This pharmacy location is linked to a 'primary inventory point' whose special primary type attribute is set to 'D' for drugs.
  • Inventory items are created manually in the primary inventory point and linked to a drug item in the local drug file#50.
  • Link between the primary inventory point item and local drug file entry is established properly.
  • All the items in the local drug file # 50 have their 'current inventory' imported with the files (which are independent of local inventory items and there is no check for verification).
  • When a drug is released to the outpatient the inventory in the local drug file #50 is updated automatically (it doesn't ask for a corresponding inventory item neither updates it).
  • As far as Inpatient Medications is concerned there are 2 cases
(1)   Unit Dose Medications: When unit dose medications are ordered and verified they are sent to the Pick List (which has to be updated for the current orders) and BCMA Virtual Due List (VDL). After they are updated pick list shows all the orders verified and the quantities ordered and gives the option to dispense drugs against the order. When drugs are dispensed now this pick list (corresponding to a ward group) needs to be sent to the ATC (most probably linked with a real ward). But as there is no ATC so system just shows the message 'No ATC Machine Found' and also there is no update corresponding to the drugs entered in the local drug file or pharmacy inventory.

(2)   IV Additives/Solutions: In case of IV Additives there is no 'current inventory' in the local drug file, though the additive can be linked to a pharmacy inventory item. IV Orders are just sent to BCMA after verification and again there is no corresponding update of the inventory.

·                                               Inpatient Medications can also provide Medications to Outpatients which are being treated in a clinic which has facility to entertain outpatients but its only for IV Additives/Solutions (most probably because IV additives/solutions aren't easy to be made outside the hospitals.
 
 
my questions are
  1. There seems to be ambiguities in the link between Pharmacy and Inventory. Inventory item is associated with Drug but is never used for item keeping.
  2. Is there any other way of delivering Inpatient Medication and is there a way to bypass ATC
  3. The link between outpatient pharmacy and inventory is also not clear
  4. Drug administration within a ward is not clear
