Subject: NDC #'s for BMV
We are in the very initial
stages of BMV implementation. When testing
the scanner on some bar codes from
prepackaged unit dose drugs, I found
that they all lack the initial zero in
the official 11 digit format.
Additionally, some of the bar codes I scanned
have a prefix. Obviously,
none of them matched up with the correct 11 digit
NDC number in my drug
dictionary which needs to kept perfect in order for
fomulary service to
work. Is there any way to program a scanner to be
compatible with the
standard NDC number format? Please don't tell me that I
must use the Add
Alt. NDC# routine to add these bogus NDC's for every single
drug in the
dictionary. Thanks.
