Shane,

 

I asked this very question a short time ago. The best solution I have found to this is to create a separate formulary entry for the half-tab. Once this is built, the NDC number from the original med can be copied (placing a suffix on the original) and a barcode for this new NDC number can then be created.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Pharmacy Unit Dosing/BMV

 

We currently send out entire tablets of drugs even if the order is a half a tablet. Nursing then breaks it in half and documents accordingly.  We would prefer to have pharmacy cut the tablets and only send half a tab to the floor.  How are other facilities handling this?  If you are sending half a tablet out to nursing, how are you handling the barcode associated with this?
