I did that also, but it's sort of a pain when you get to drugs like HYDROXizine
and HYDralazine, and HYDROxychloroquine because users tend to only want to
put in three or 4 letters and hit lookup. I was only able to utilize this
method on a few drugs and then there are the look alike/sound alike TRADE names
to
deal with as well. I will have to read the DTS, but if it means I have to go
into all the drugs and give them a combination of upper case and lower case
letters to utilize TALL MAN lettering, I am wondering if I have to then go into
RXM and copy my work there as well. The MD lookup for RXM shows both upper
and lower case letters, but currently the DRUG DICTIONARY in RXM works like the
PHA dictionary does currently. If anyone knows, please post. Thanks Cindy

[EMAIL PROTECTED] RE:
[MEDITECH-L] Meditech and tall-man lettering
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.

Below is a response that I received from Meditech on the subject of tall-man
lettering. 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. "
