We encountered the same problem and added this to the Calc between the first and second line:
SRCR'?0D;

======================================

Good morning L,
We had a problem yesterday with our pharmacy rule that calculates estimated
creatinine clearance. The rule is CRCL and is shown below:

IF{IF{[f rx last ver result]("CREAT*")^SRCR_.=.;
[f pt sex]^SX_.=.;
[f pt oe ht cm]^HT_.=.;
[f pt oe wt kgs]^WT_.=.;
[f pt cur age]^AGE_.=.} "Unable to calculate Estimated Creatinine
Clearance."^X,
                          [f rx msg](X),"";
IF{SX="M" 50;45.5}^S,
IF{SX="M" 1;0.85}^F,
IF{SRCR<0.9 0.9^SRCR},
S+(2.3*((HT/2.54)-60)!0)^IBW,
IF{[f pt oe wt kgs]<IBW [f pt oe wt kgs]^IBW},
140-AGE*WT/(72*SRCR)*F}^CRCL;

The problem is that the result from lab was TNP, which caused the pharmacist
to
be sent to goodbye when attempting to order a med with this rule attached.
The
rule as currently written looks pretty much like the standard calc from the
Meditech website.

We need the calc to take into consideration if the lab results the
creatinine as
TNP or QNS. Can anyone help us incorporate this into the logic: If the
CREAT* is TNP or QNS, then display the message "Unable to calculate
Estimated Creatinine Clearance."

Also, can anyone tell me what the _.=. in each of the first five lines of
the rule means? Maybe if I understood this part of the logic I could
incorporate the lab result of TNP or QNS. I write a lot of calcs in lab, but
I’ve never seen or used this logic before.

Thanks!!
