Thanks Ed, I will run your process by my Pharmacy super users. This information will be very useful. I don't have an answer to your question on Dose range checking Ron -----Original Message----- From: Lanoue, Ed T [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 11:27 AM To: McBride, Ronald; Terry Crissman Cc: Meditech L (E-mail) Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Micromedex vs First DataBank We have Micromedex as well. We discovered that a lot depends on your infrastructure and how well connected your PC is to the network. Also, my PC is not scheduled to receive updates while the suspense file is creating. I always upload from the desktop. I have told Meditech that we need a validation tool to verify that all files where uploaded properly before filing. Is there a DTS for this now? It could be the PC you are using also and the version of the windows workstation that could be playing a role. Meditech recommends uploading the files in two separate batches and this enables a faster upload. We used a computer in IS, just outside the network room, and the files loaded in about 16 hours doing it this way. From my PC, typically it does take about 24-32 hours to upload a suspense file and about 1 hour to file all the run drugs. I upload into Test first, file and then check. Then I upload the suspense into LIVE. I just discovered in TEST, that the Generic name dictionary filed all generic names in the FS into TEST. Luckily, nothing happened in LIVE but there is a DTS to fix this. It affects 5.4 SR2 only apparently. I don't delete the file run because it automatically purges the interactions index. You may also need to look at the amount of space on your machine as this is probably causing an issue. We are getting our own machine soon and I can't wait. I am looking at adding the dose range checking to TEST. I wanted to do Max dose first but it doesn't seem to work in Test. Does anyone know if we need to add dose range checking in order to get maximum dose?
