  1. EHR Parameters for Pharmacy

  2. Learning Objectives • Assess need to have a properly configured Information Management system and use of uniform data to assure medication accuracy, timely access to patient information and patient safety. • Explain the necessity to configure Information Management system in medication management to correlate to physical processes to assure that the system supports but does not supplant the process. • Evaluate package parameters relating to medications and medication use in both outpatient and inpatient settings to function for useability and workflow including IHS specific options, a uniform print format for EHR, controlled substance orders, the PharmEd Button, inpatient user parameters, inpatient ward setup, Ward Groups, Unit Dose Parameters and MAR/MAR Labels. Determine best practices.

  3. Definition of Parameter • A Parameter is a Quantity whose value is selected for the particular circumstances and in relation to which other variable quantities may be expressed.

  4. Definition of Parameter • For RPMS-EHR, this means that a CAC can change behavior of a part of the software without having to perform a programming change simply by changing the value of a Parameter.

  5. Parameters: • Provide a way to Control Configuration at the Local Level by non-programmers • Allow for Flexibility and Customization of RPMS-EHR at each Site • Allow for different Configuration for Divisions and Individual Users

  6. Parameter Structure • The Structure of Parameters within RPMS-EHR is Hierarchical • Parameters range from User at the top to Package at the bottom

  7. Hierarchy Levels 1 User 2 Team (OE/RR) 3 Device 4 Location 5 Service 6 Division 7 System 8 Package

  8. Parameter Hierarchy • How does the Hierarchy work? • A Package first Checks the Highest Level (e.g. “User”) to see if a Value is set • The Package will continue to check each succeeding Level until a Value is found • When a Value is found, the Package stops and uses that Value for the Operation in question

  9. Parameter Hierarchy • Note that not all Levels are available for all Parameters, but only those that make sense for that particular item. ORWOR WRITE ORDERS LIST may be set for the following: 1 User USR [choose from NEW PERSON] 2 Location LOC [choose from HOSPITAL LOCATION] 2.3 Service SRV [choose from SERVICE/SECTION] 2.7 Division DIV [MEDSPHERE DEMO HOSPITAL] 3 System SYS [DEMO.MEDSPHERE.COM] 4 Package PKG [ORDER ENTRY/RESULTS REPORTING]

  10. Setting Parameters • Most Parameters are set at the System or Division Level. • For some Parameters, it may be necessary to use Location, Team or User. • The “higher” the level used, the more effort required to maintain the Parameter (e.g. 1 Setting at System, vs. 30 at Location, vs. 300 at User).

  11. Setting Parameters • Package levels should NOT be changed by the CAC. • The Package Level should be considered the “Reference” Value. • New Patches for a Package may sometimes reset the Package Level value which could have interesting consequences if was changed locally.

  12. Setting Parameters • RPMS-EHR Parameters can be set in two ways: • Using the RPMS menu option: General Parameter Tools • Using various RPMS menus from: RPMS-EHR Configuration Master Menu

  13. Parameters – MedsCORE-EHR-BEH-MED ACT Days of Medication Activity DEA Print DEA on all Prescriptions MAX Maximum Allowable Days Supply MEC Medication Counseling Configuration OMD Outside Med Dosage Form ORD Default Collation Order REN Renewal Limit for Expired Meds SPL Med Tab Splitter Size

  14. Days of Medication Activity

  15. Print DEA on all Prescriptions • Allows for local customization for DEA printing on all prescriptions instead of only on controlled prescriptions.

  16. Maximum Allowable Days Supply • This controls the upper limit for days supply of a dispensed medication: • The range is 90-365 days.

  23. Outside Med Dosage Form

  24. Default Collation Order Controls the default collation order for the medication list. May be one or more of the following values: C = Chronic med status E = Expiration date F = Last fill date I = Issue date M = Medication name N = Rx # P = Provider name R = Refills remaining S = Status To reverse the collation order, use the lowercase equivalent.

  25. Default Collation Order

  26. Renewal Limit for Expired Meds • This is the maximum number of days following the expiration of a prescription that it may still be renewed: • Typically set to between 90-120 days.

  28. Enable Clinical Indicator Prompt • Places a prompt for providers to enter a clinical indication for medication orders. • Required to be turned on for e-prescribing. • EHR Patch 9: • Requires a coded diagnosis • Pull in problem list and POVs for providers to select from • Renew, copy, and change pre-populates with clinical indication of new order
