Hey Charlie- I've been doing tall-man for years - the first 4 letters need to be caps in the field...not exactly what ISMP has, but JCAHO likes it nonetheless.
DOPAmine DOBUTAmine PREDnisoLONE METHYLprednisoLONE Used in the Generic Name Dictionary, these are outputted to PHA Labels, MAR's, etc. And it's a pretty easy addition - once changed in the GN Dictionary, it "auto-updates" the Drug Dictionary...give it a try and let me know what you think. Be well - Kevin. Kevin McConnell, PharmD.

Looks like with 5.6 we'll be able to use it. "Pharmacy DTS 7667 in the 5.6 SR1 release introduces case insensitive lookups that allows for you to use tall man lettering. I see you are getting 5.6 in a few weeks and this change will be part of your update. I'll have to look further into the thermal label question. I know that our development staff does monitor what is going on with ISMP. " Charlie Charles Downs Pharm.D. Washington County Hospital Inpatient Pharmacy 251 E.
