We have a custom interface for Meditech/McKesson that feeds both the AcuDose cabinets as well as the Robot-Rx. This was created prior to a standard Meditech DM interface. We had the same problem with credits initially but worked with the two vendors to get a mapping process that works for us. I don't recall all the details, but I know that Meditech handles credits by matching up the drug mnemonic at a minimum and looks for DM orders on the account. I believe it credits the most recent DM order with the matching mnemonic. There are certainly some instances when the wrong Rx is credited, but being that it is the same drug, it all comes out in the wash on the bill. We no longer have the problem you are reporting.

It happens when you pull stuff on override (not profiled by PHA.) Pyxis sends the transaction to PHA, but it has no Meditech Rx number in Pyxis since it didn't originate in PHA. When the user credits this override, Meditech doesn't know how to process it since there is no RX number to tie it back to, hence the rejection. We're manually doing the credits the next day from a report that monitors the interface. There needs to be a way for Meditech to send the Rx number back to Pyxis/Omnicell so these credits are properly processed automatically. I think both Pyxis/Omnicell and Meditech will have to be involved in the solution to fix this hole in the interface. I'll bet if you look harder, you'll find other interface problems, too. If you allow your users to manually admit patients into the Pyxis/Omnicell, and if the account number they provide is not a good match with what's in Meditech, all associated transactions never make it PHA and are lost. We have about 600 of these transactions per month... Alan Miller, RPh Catawba Valley Medical Center Hickory, NC 28602 >>> "Goldstein, Diane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/30/2007 10:49 AM >>> We have recently updated to Meditech Magic v5.61. Since the update we have had a problem with credits interfacing from Omnicell to Pharmacy. They are rejecting with the message "Unable to find matching Rx." We have been working with and waiting for Meditech to solve this for more than a month. Has anyone else had this problem? If yes, has it been resolved?
