We are MAGIC 5.5.2. We use 1 dictionary since we use perpetual inventory and using the NONFORM dictionary does not support that.
Jeff Thompson Newman Regional Health Emporia, KS 66801 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adnan Hamid Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 1:44 AM To: MEDITECH-L Subject: [MEDITECH-L] PHA: Desiging Drug Database We are in the beginning of designing our dictionaries. One item that has come up is how to design the drug database. In particular, it is how to assign non formulary drugs. We are being given two choices from Meditech: 1. Have two separate data bases- one for formulary items and one for non-formulary items. 2. Utilize the formulary data base, but have some designation built into the drug mnemonic to designate a non formulary drug. Each has its pluses and minuses. I prefer option #1, because it will allow additional report capability and make drug look up easier. How have others handled this? -- Adnan E. Hamid MBA, CPHIMS I.S.
