Hey Charlie- Great stuff - thanks for the info. Curious...have you talked to your Pyxis Engineer to see if something is getting "blocked" in the PROCAR and/or status of Fix DC? Might be something there. In the meanwhile, take the Fix DC off of your Access Group...they'll never know! Hope all is well - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

Had an order that showed up as active on the Pyxis console, yet didn't show up on the Pyxis machine on the floor. Came to find out that a pharmacist had used the fix DC function and the order originally had a stop date that had kicked in to DC the Rx. Number one, a fix DC does not throw an order back on the profile in the console or on the machine on the floor, You have to do a limited edit (don't have to really change anything) first. Then, if the item had a stop date, you have to go to the console, pull up the patient date, click on the order, and click edit. You'll notice that Pyxis gives every order a stop date of one year unless the order was given a stop date in Meditech. A fix DC does not change the stop date on the console - you'll have to change it to a year yourself. Then the order will show up on the machine on the floor. Evidently, changing a stop date in Meditech does not change it on the Pyxis console. Has anyone run into this problem and is there a way to keep this from happening? If there isn't, I thought it would be good to make everyone aware of the potential problem.
