Kevin - I haven't had a chance to do this, but plan to see if there is a way
to do it. Where this comes into play a lot is when someone is discharged in
error and the order is fixed by undo.

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.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Pharmacy - Pyxis and fix DC function
I ran into an interesting scenario yesterday. 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.
