Hi Jan/Alan, We have been able to interface NMI with Pyxis and the case sensitivity is mirrored in both systems with any changes to the pharmacy formulary reflected in Pyxis. (I worked a long time with the Pyxis engineer on this one and I was very thorough in testing. This is a crucial step!) I'm not sure if I'm missing something because this always worked for us. The only issue is if something untoward happens in PHA then it could happen in Pyxis. This is the case with 5.6 with MDX adding the strength on the end of the trade name which I have reported. Fortunately it is still in TEST at this point. I loathe busy maintenance work and with all the changes I've been making to the drug dictionary lately, this has been a wise investment of effort.

However, the IV order strings are not working with the trade name. Related? Have a task into Meditech. I did the actual ISMP recommendation with the generic name and did something similar to what Kevin did with the generic equivalent field. I will be deleting those entries.

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.
