Hi Beth- You're correct about it being a HUGE undertaking, but with a well thought out plan.it's doable. One method I've done with success is turning the dose range checking off, then reintroducing by "drug type" - High Risk meds, chemo's, antibiotics, narcotic analgesics, etc. You most likely already have the AHFS classification assigned to your drug entries. There a couple KBA's on turning the dose range checking off. Not to copy the FDB information, but it can be utilized as a reference while building your own set of ranges. Best of luck - Kevin.

Want to know - has anyone scrapped third party vendor they were using and created their own. If so how and where did you start - and if your own would you be willing to share - obviously this is a large undertaking and any information or ideas that can be shared would be greatly appreciated.
