Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Pharmacy Rule for anticoagulants
Mr. Kawa,
We developed a custom keyword that looks at active orders and sees if
there is a potential conflict. If so, the keyword (as called from a
rule) will then cause the rule to display an alert on the screen. This
was developed some time ago, before some of the newer keywords were
available. So there might be a better way, but this works for us. We
are Magic 5.4.1 (HCA version). This only looks at ACTIVE orders.
The keyword is:
Function RX Name RX
Mnemonic z hep lmwh dup check Assign to Group Z
Active? Y
Name heparin lmwh duplicate check
Multiple Output Lines? Special Flag Value
Minimum Output Length
Maximum Output Length
Number of Arguments
Execute at Translation?
Edit Code?
1^/ZDUP["ENOXAPARIN","HEPARIN NA"],
1^/ZDUP["DALTEPARIN","HEPARIN NA"],
1^/ZDUP["ENOXAPARIN","HEPARIN DW"],
1^/ZDUP["DALTEPARIN","HEPARIN DW"],
@PHA.DRUG.generic^GEN,
DO{>(patient.rx.x[^?,patient,"AC",SUB],URN)^SUB @number[^?,URN]^RXNUM,
[EMAIL PROTECTED],URN,"1"];@med[^?,URN]}^MED,
@PHA.DRUG.generic[MED]^GEN2,
IF{(/ZDUP[GEN,GEN2])!(/ZDUP[GEN2,GEN]) CNT+1^CNT,
"DUPLICATE: RX "_RXNUM_" "[EMAIL PROTECTED],
MSG
The rule is:
[f z hep lmwh dup check]^TXT,
IF{TXT [f rx win init],
" "^T0,
" This order, if activated, will result in this patient receiving both
"^T1,
" a low molecular weight heparin product and unfractionated heparin
"^T2,
" which greatly increases risk of bleeding to the patient. "^T3,
" Please follow up with MD and encourage use of one product only, "^T4,
" or verify need/length of RX for both agents, and document results.
"^T5,
[f rx win add](TXT),
[f rx win add](T0),
[f rx win add](T1),
[f rx win add](T2),
[f rx win add](T3),
[f rx win add](T4),
[f rx win add](T5),
[f rx win disp]},
1;
The keyword will have to be edited for your specific generic mnemonics.
Additional lines of mnemonics may need to be added.
Good luck!

Does anyone have a rule to prevent or, at least, address the problem of
concomitant administation of heparin and Lovenox?
Thanks,
