Pharmacy Reengineering UpdateAugust 2011Amy K. Colón, R.Ph.Clinical Analyst, PBMMichael J. Martinko, R.Ph.Clinical Analyst, PBM
PRE-MOCHA Medication Order Check Healthcare Application • MOCHA is the first increment of Pharmacy Reengineering to be released to VAMCs • Data comes from a commercial database, First DataBank (FDB), and from a VA Pharmacy Enterprise Customization System (PECS) • MOCHA 1 - Non-dosing, enhanced order checks • MOCHA 2 - Dosing checks
Pharmacy Reengineering Overview Outpatient Pharmacy MOCHA v2.0
Types of Dosage Information • Max single dose – this is the individual dose amount, whether it is given once a day or 24 times a day • Total daily dose – Dose x Frequency (per 24h) • General Dosage Range – Is provided when there is a problem with the order and dosage checks cannot be performed
Outpatient Single Dose Warning Order details: Orderable Item: METFORMIN HCL TAB,ORAL Dosage Ordered: 3000 (MG) Dispense Units: 6 Noun: TABLETS Route: ORAL (BY MOUTH) Schedule: BID-WF Dose warning text: METFORMIN HCL 500MG TAB: Single dose amount of 3000 MILLIGRAMS exceeds the maximum single dose amount of 1000 MILLIGRAMS.
Dose Warning for Multi-Ingredient Drug Order details: Orderable Item: CARBIDOPA/LEVODOPA TAB,SA Dosage Ordered: 5 TABLETS Route: ORAL (BY MOUTH) Schedule: TID SIG: TAKE 5 TABLETS BY MOUTH THREE TIMES DAILY Dose warning text: CARBIDOPA 25/LEVODOPA 100MG TAB: Single dose form amount of 5 TABLET(S) exceeds the maximum single dose form amount of 2 TABLET(S).
Dose Checks Calculations Dependent on Body Surface Area or Weight Data Patient data: DOB: MAR 13,1944 (66) Ht(cm): 182.88 (12/04/2010) Wt(kg): 81.82 (12/04/2010) Dose warning text: ENOXAPARIN 40MG/0.4ML INJ SYRINGE 0.4ML: Single dose amount of 400 MILLIGRAMS exceeds the maximum single dose amount of 129 MILLIGRAMS.
Error Message for Dose Not Performed Order details: Orderable Item: METOPROLOL TAB Dosage Ordered: 500MG Route: ORAL (BY MOUTH) Schedule: Before sunrise SIG: TAKE TESTING DOSE TABLET(S) BY MOUTH TWICE A DAY Dose warning text: Dosing Checks could not be performed for Drug: METOPROLOL SUCCINATE 100MG SA TAB Reason(s): Invalid or Undefined Frequency General dosing range for METOPROLOL SUCCINATE 100MG SA TAB (ORAL): 12.5 MG/DAY to 400 MG/DAY
Factors Used to Derive a Recommended Dose • Patient Age • Height/Weight/BSA (when applicable) • Dose Form • Dose Unit • Medication Route • Frequency
Factor: Patient Age • Recommended doses vary according to a patient’s age • FDB stores dose data according to patient age • Doses are not always established and available for a certain age, but this is more common with pediatric dosing than geriatric dosing
Factor: Patient Height, Weight, BSA • Calculated doses for specific drugs are done when a weight or BSA value is relevant in the determination of an appropriate dose • Some drug dosages are only weight/BSA dependent for specific age groups (i.e. weight may be relevant on a 90 year old, but not on a 50 year old
Factor: Dose Form • Doses are stored differently based on the drug’s dosage form (i.e. oral, IV, transdermal) • Some dosage forms are excluded from order checks (i.e. creams, ointments)
Factor: Dose Units • The dose unit on an order must either match the unit that FDB has stored, or else be able to convert to that unit. • If the dose unit does not match the FDB dose unit, then the order check will not occur and an error message will display • FDB stores 2 different types of dose units in their dosing table – “Mass type”units and “Dose form” type units
Sub-factor: Mass Type Dose Units • Generally used for single ingredient drugs that are administered via po, SC, or IM • The most common type of dose unit (mg, gm, units) • Possible types of FDB Dose Unit Conversions • Metric conversions – wide range (i.e.. mcg to mg) • Numeric conversions between standard units and metric units (i.e. Cm to In, Oz to Tsp, Tsp to mL, MMU to IU)
Sub-factor: Dose Form Type Dose Units • Dose form type units – Used for non-posolids (patches, inhalers), multi-ingredient drugs • FDB selects the type of dose units for an item • Patch dose unit is “ 1 patch”, rather than 75mcg • Inhaler dose units are variable and include inhalations, sprays, puffs, etc. Currently, they sometimes also include metric doses. • On the contrary, drug that dosage forms of suppositories or packets, are dosed in “mass type” units
Possible Dose Units Conversions • Metric conversions – wide range (i.e.. mcg to mg) • Numeric conversions between standard units and metric units (i.e. Oz to Tsp, Tsp to mL, MMU to IU) • Non-metric allowable conversions: • “EA” is a flexible term relating to the dose form. If dose form is packet, then “EA” is considered to be 1 unit of that dose form(i.e. EA to Packet) • FDB has a limited capability to convert from one dose form type unit to another dose-form type unit (spray=inhalation=puff)
Non-Standard Doses • Fractional doses – no problem • Free-text doses – different assumptions in CPRS vs. backdoor, because of the way that a dispense drug is selected in each package • The pharmacy packages can perform some sophisticated auto-population logic for free-text doses (i.e. three and one-half tablets = 3.5 tablets). If a match cannot be determined, then no order check will be performed
Factor: Medication Route • If a medication route is not accurately mapped, then a dose check will not occur • FDB Doses are tied to specific routes (IV vs IM), error messages will display if an invalid route is selected • Sometimes FDB is too limiting with its expected med route. • Ie. Transdermal vs. Topical (Patches) • Ie. Nebulization vs. Inhalation (Albuterol Solution)
Factor: Frequency • Used to calculate a total daily dose • If an order for a long acting injectable drug is written with a schedule that is too frequent, then the user will be warned of the frequency issue. • Two new fields were created in file 51.1 • EXCLUDE FROM ALL DOSING CHECKS: • EXCLUDE FROM DAILY DOSE CHECK:
Dose Check Exclusions • Supplies (bandages, syringes) • Compounded items not matched to NDF • Large volume IV solutions • Items that don’t require a dose check, but that have a dosage form that does generate checks • Drugs with excluded dosage forms (i.e.. creams, ointments) but, the exclusion can be overridden at the NDF level
MOCHA 2 Preparation Summary Review and update the following: • Unmatched drug file entries • DEA/special handling field • Standard schedule file • Med route mappings • Orderable item medication route defaults for potentially problematic dosage forms • Local possible doses Guidance lists for FDB exceptions will be provided…
Pharmacy Reengineering Overview Inpatient Pharmacy MOCHA v2.0
Inpatient Pharmacy Dosage Checks • Same factors as Outpatient (backdoor VistA or CPRS order entry) • Patient age • Height/Weight/BSA (when applicable) • Dose form • Dose unit • Medication Route • Frequency • Duration • Rate
Inpatient Dosage Check Triggers (1) Note that the triggers for dosing are different than triggers for MOCHA v1.0 enhanced order checks • Entering a new IV or Unit Dose medication order through pharmacy options • Finishing a pending IV or Unit Dose medication order • Renewing an IV or Unit Dose order • Creating a new Unit Dose order when editing the orderable item (to a new orderable item) through pharmacy options • When editing the IV additive fields (changing existing additive or adding new additive) for an IV order through pharmacy options • When editing the IV solution fields (changing existing solution or adding a new solution) for an IV order through pharmacy options -This applies only to IV solutions marked as a PreMix. • Entering a new Unit Dose medication order through pharmacy options using order sets
Inpatient Dosage Check Triggers (2) • Editing the following for a Unit Dose order: • Dosage Ordered • Units per Dose (for Dispense Drug) • Med Route • Schedule • Editing the following for an IV order • Infusion rate (only applies to IV types of ‘Admixture’, ‘Hyperal’, ‘Chemotherapy Admixture’, ‘Continuous Syringe’ or ‘Chemotherapy Continuous Syringe’) • Schedule (only applies to IV types of ‘Piggyback’, ‘Intermittent Syringe’, ‘Chemotherapy Piggyback’, or ‘Chemotherapy Intermittent Syringe’) • Med Route • Volume (does not apply to orders with IV types of ‘Piggyback’, ‘Intermittent Syringe’, ‘Chemotherapy Piggyback’, or ‘Chemotherapy Intermittent Syringe’ with IV Solution not marked as PreMix)
