INVISION RCO customers automatically receive access to the latest NDDF information when running their normal jobs to the Selected Services Report, or the Monthly Update Report. The latest tape is always loaded on the reserve disk pack at Corporate and accessed by the JCL associated with the jobs. ICO customers must receive the physical tape from SMS. If you are a new ICO customer, you must request the NDDF shipment by sending a request (Fax or other delivery method) to SMS to be added to tape delivery list. The fax number is 610-219-5698, Attn: Terry DeAngelo.

 

 

Here is a list of EVTS tickets relating to INVISION Pharmacy or Med/IV Charting. If you are encountering a similar problem, please open up a ticket for your client and have Tech Support reference the appropriate ticket below: 

 

The first release of the SMS Pharmacy Med/IV Orders Interface is completed and live at Salem North Shore, Bay Medical Center and North Shore University at Glen Cove. The second release (see Customer Memo #Z961209A above) is near beta completion at Salem North Shore and will be GA 1Q97. The bidirectional coded allergy interface is scheduled sometime after the 1Q97. Later in the year the ‘Phase IV’ outbound (TIF) Med/IV Orders to SMS Pharmacy Interface will be beta tested at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton, Mass. and North Shore Medical Center in Manhassett, NY. The following install tips come from Sandy Jungck, and relate to SMS Pharmacy. The only caveat I would add is to be careful about using a free text Sig without specifying a TOA when using the Med/IV Orders Interface. The transaction will error in the interface without a TOA.
  SMS PHARMACY SYSTEM ENTERING IV ORDERS

"Now and PRN" Orders:
FOR EXAMPLE : FENTANYL DRIPS

If you would like to have the system create a label and generate a charge at the time of order entry, enter the order in the normal manner with:

Method: IVPB

Note: You must change the TOA and Start Date/Time to meet your need.
When the next IV label and charge are required, use the adjust function.

Standing PRN IV Orders:
FOR EXAMPLE: AN ALDOMET DRIP TO BE USED IF BP INCREASES

For orders that you would like to enter into the system but not generate an initial supply label or a charge, enter the order as usual:
Method : IVPB

When an IV label and charge are required, use the adjust function.

IVs Supplied by Central Supply:
FOR EXAMPLE : D 5 W 1000ml:

These are similar to the above example, but they are scheduled.
Rate : enter specified rate (125 for example)

Large Volume Parenteral that we really supply:
FOR EXAMPLE : NORMOSOL M in D5W
