Introduction
The Inpatient Medications Unit Dose module is a method of computerizing inpatient drug distribution within the hospital. Unit dose orders are entered/edited by a ward clerk, healthcare provider (physician), nurse, or pharmacist, and verified by a nurse and pharmacist. Orders may also be canceled or renewed as appropriate. Once active, the orders are dispensed to the wards by means of the pick list. The system allows for dispensing tracking from the pick list.
The Unit Dose module can also produce a 24-hour, 7-day, or 14-day Medication Administration Record (MAR). This report is a computerized Continuing Medication Record (CMR). The MAR contains patient demographics, and all active orders with their administration schedules. With access to the MARs, you have the following four options:
1. Use the computerized MARupdate it with labels,
2. Use the computerized MAR without labelsupdate by hand,
3. Use the manual CMRupdate it with labels, or
4. Continue to use the manual CMR with no labelsupdate by hand.
List Manager
You have probably noticed that when you process an order, the screen has dramatically changed from the previous version. The new screen was designed using List Manager.
This new screen will give you
more pertinent information and
easier access to vital other reports and areas of a patients chart you may wish to see.
Please take the time to read over the explanation of the screen and the actions that you can now execute at the touch of a key. This type of preparation before attempting to use List Manager has been proven effective in saving time and effort.
Screen Title: The screen title changes according to what type of information List Manager is displaying (e.g., Patient Information, Non-Verified Order, Inpatient Order Entry, etc).
Allergy Indicator: This indicator will display only when allergy information has been entered for the patient.
Header area: The header area is a fixed (non-scrollable) area that displays information for a patient.
List area: (scrolling region): This is the section that will scroll (like the previous version) and display the information that an action can be taken on.
Message window: This section displays a plus (+) sign, minus (-) sign, if the list is longer than one screen, and informational text (i.e., Enter ?? for more actions). If you enter the plus sign at the action prompt, List Manager will jump forward to the next screen. If there is a minus sign displayed and you enter one at the action prompt, List Manager will jump back to the previous screen. The plus and minus signs are only valid actions if they are displayed in the message window.
Action area: The list of valid actions display in this area of the screen. If you enter a double question mark (??) at the Select Action prompt, you will receive a hidden list of additional actions that are available to you.
Using List Manager
List Manager is a tool designed so that a list of items can be presented to the user for an action.
For Inpatient Pharmacy, the List Manager does the following:
gives capability to browse through a list of actions.
gives capability to take action(s) against those items.
gives capability to print MARs, labels, and profiles from within the Inpatient Order Entry option.
gives the user the capability to select a different option than the option you are in.
Actions are entered by typing the name(s), or synonym(s) at the Select Action prompt. In addition to the various actions that may be available specific to the option you are working in, List Manager provides generic actions applicable to any List Manager screen. You may enter a double question mark (??) at the Select Action prompt for a list of all actions available. The following is a list of generic List Manager actions with a brief description. The synonym for each action is shown in brackets following the action name. Entering the synonym is the quickest way to select an action.

Order Processing
The Order Entry options allow you to create new orders for a patient as well as take various actions on existing Unit dose or IV orders.
Within the Inpatient Medications package there are three different paths that you can take to enter a new order or take action on an existing order. They are Non-Verified/Pending Orders, Inpatient Order Entry, and Order Entry (UD). Each of these paths differ by the prompts that you will be asked. Once you have reached the point of entering a new order or selecting an existing order, the process becomes the same for each path. Below is a summary of the different paths.
Non-Verified/Pending Orders
This option allows easy identification and processing of non-verified and/or pending orders. This option will also show pending and pending renewal orders, which are orders from OE/RR that have not been finished by Pharmacy Service. Please refer either the Inpatient Medications Nurses or Pharmacists Manuals for more information.
You can choose to look at non-verified and/or pending orders for a ward group (G), ward (W), or single patient (P). If Ward or Ward Groups is selected, patients will be listed by wards and then by teams.
If no profile is chosen, the orders for the patient selected will be displayed for verification or completion by login date with the earliest date showing first. If a profile is chosen, the orders will be selected from this list for processing (any order may be selected).
Inpatient Order Entry/Order Entry (UD)
Inpatient Order Entry allows the pharmacist to create, edit, renew, hold, and discontinue Unit Dose and IV orders, as well as put existing IV orders on call for any patient, while remaining in the Unit Dose module.
When you access the Inpatient Order Entry option from the Unit Dose module for the first time within a session, you are first asked to select the IV room in which you wish to enter orders. You are then given the label and report devices defined for the IV room you choose. If no devices have been defined, you will be given the opportunity to choose them. If you exit this option and re-enter within the same session, you are shown your current label and report devices.
Order Entry (UD) functions almost identically to Inpatient Order Entry but does not include IV orders on the profile and only Unit Dose orders may be entered or processed.
Name of the Patient
The Brief Patient Information List is then displayed for the selected patient. This list contains the patients demographic data, Allergy/Adverse Reaction data, and Pharmacy Narratives.
Patient Demographics
The patients demographic information is displayed in the heading of the List Manager display, and includes information about the patients current admission.
Allergy/ADR Information
This includes non-verified and verified Allergy/ADR information as defined in the Adverse Reaction Tracking (ART) package. The allergy data is sorted by type (DRUG, DRUG/FOOD, DRUG/FOOD/OTHER, DRUG/OTHER, FOOD, FOOD/OTHER, OTHER). If no data is found for a category, the heading for that category is not displayed.
Pharmacy Narratives
A new INPATIENT NARRATIVE field has been added in version 5.0. This field is similar to the OUTPATIENT NARRATIVE, and may be used by inpatient pharmacy staff to display information specific to the current admission for the patient. Data in this field is automatically deleted when the patient is admitted.
Allergies - Verified: NEOSPORIN, PENICILLIN
Non-Verified: DEMEROL HYDROCHLORIDE

Delete: This option is used to delete an intervention from the APSP INTERVENTION file. You may only delete an intervention that was entered on the same day.
View: This option is used to display Pharmacy Interventions in a captioned format.
Print: This option is used to obtain a captioned printout of Pharmacy Interventions for a certain date range. It will print out on normal width paper and can be queued to print at a later time.
Patient Profile List
The Patient Profile List contains all orders for a selected profile type.
A long profile lists Unit Dose and IV orders for the current admission including discontinued and expired orders, (IV orders are not included in the Order Entry (Unit Dose) option).
A short profile lists the active, non-verified, or pending orders.
The orders on the profile are sorted first by the status of ACTIVE, NON-VERIFIED, PENDING, PENDING RENEWALS, and then alphabetically by SCHEDULE TYPE. Pending orders with a priority of STAT are listed first and are displayed in a bold and blinking text for easy identification. After SCHEDULE TYPE, orders are sorted alphabetically by DRUG (the drug name listed on the profile), and then in descending order by START DATE
Note: The START DATE and DRUG sort may be reversed using the
INPATIENT ORDER SORT field in the INPATIENT USER PARAMETERS file.
If a Unit Dose order not yet verified by pharmacy has been verified by nursing, it will be listed under the ACTIVE heading with a -> next to its number identifying it as non-verified. Orders may be selected by choosing the Select Order action, or directly from the profile using the order number displayed to the left of the drug. Multiple orders may be chosen by entering the numbers of each order to be included separated by commas (e.g., 1,2,3), or a range of numbers using the dash (e.g., 1-3).

Unit Dose Order View List
After the patient is selected and length of profile is chosen, order entry follows three basic steps:
1. Take action on a previously entered order by selecting it from the profile or create a new order by entering the drug, schedule, administration times, etc., pertaining to the type of order.
2. If Auto-Verify is disabled, the order must be verified before it is included on the Pick List, MAR, etc. For more information on the Auto- Verify function see the Edit User Parameters section of the Pharmacy Supervisor Manual.
3. If orders have been verified, you must provide information for the Pre- Exchange Units: Report. After verifying an order, you are prompted to identify the number of units required before the next cart exchange (pre-exchange units). Information will be requested for each order that has been verified. When you finish entering new orders, a Pre- Exchange Report will be printed. The report lists patient name, ward location, room and bed, orderable item, dispense drug, and pre- exchange needs for each order. You can immediately print this report to the screen or queue it to print on a printer. We advise that you print a copy on the printer. Once you exit this option, you cannot reprint this report.

Note: Actions enclosed in parenthesis are not available. Fields that may be edited will be identified by a number displayed to the left of the field name. This number is used when selecting fields to be edited. Fields marked with an * next to its number will cause this order to be discontinued and a new one created if it is changed.
New Order Entry (Unit Dose)
For Unit Dose order entry you must respond at the Select DRUG: prompt. Once you choose the drug, you can follow the same procedure as Unit Dose order entry, as defined in your user parameters.
DRUG
Pharmacists select Unit Dose medications directly from the DRUG file (#50). The Orderable Item for the selected drug will automatically be added to the order, and all dispense drugs entered for the order must be linked to that Orderable Item. If the Orderable Item is edited, data in the DOSAGE ORDERED and DISPENSE DRUG fields will be deleted. If multiple dispense drugs are needed in an order, they may be entered by selecting the DISPENSE DRUG field (#12) from the edit list before accepting the new order (see either the Inpatient Medications Nurses or Pharmacists Manual for more information on this process). After each dispense drug is selected, it will be checked against the patients current medications for duplicate drug or class orders, and drug-drug/drug-allergy interactions (see either the Inpatient Medications Nurses or Pharmacists Manual for more information on this process).
Note: For IV order entry, you must bypass the Select DRUG: prompt in the Inpatient Order Entry option (by pressing the Return key) and then choose the IV type at the Select IV TYPE: prompt.
DOSAGE ORDERED
To allow pharmacy greater control over the order display shown for Unit Dose orders on profiles, labels, MARs, etc., the DOSAGE ORDERED field is no longer required. If no DOSAGE ORDERED is defined for an order, the order will be displayed as:
DISPENSE DRUG NAME
Give: UNITS/DOSE MEDICATION ROUTE SCHEDULE
If DOSAGE ORDERED is defined for the order, it will be displayed as:
ORDERABLE ITEM NAME DOSE FORM
Give: DOSAGE ORDERED MEDICATION ROUTE SCHEDULE
Note: If an order contains multiple DISPENSE DRUG, DOSAGE ORDERED will be required, and should contain the total dosage of the medication to be administered.
UNITS PER DOSE
This is the number of units (tablets, capsules, etc.) of the dispense drug selected to be given when the order is administered. If no data is entered, the UNITS PER DOSE is assumed to be 1.
MED ROUTE
This is the route of administration to be used for the order. If a default Medication Route is identified for the selected Orderable Item, it will be used as the default for the order.
SCHEDULE TYPE
This defines the type of schedule to be used when administering the order. If the schedule type entered is one time, the orders start and stop dates must be the same. When a new order is entered or an order entered through CPRS is finished by pharmacy the default Schedule Type is determined as described below:
If a schedule type is defined for the Orderable Item selected, that schedule type is used for the order.
If no schedule type has been found and if no schedule is defined, schedule type is CONTINUOUS.
If no schedule type has been found and the schedule contains PRN, the schedule type is PRN.
If no schedule type has been found and the schedule entered is found in the ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE file (#51.1), and a schedule type is defined for it, that schedule type is used for the order.
If no schedule type has been found and the schedule is NOW, STAT, ONCE, or ONE-TIME the schedule type is ONCE.
If the schedule type determined above is DAY OF WEEK the schedule type is set to CONTINUOUS.
If no schedule type was determined above, the schedule type is CONTINUOUS
SCHEDULE
This defines the frequency the order is to be administered. Schedules may be selected from the ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE file (#51.1) or non-standard schedules may be used. A non-standard schedule is one that does not have a consistent interval between administrations. Unit Dose recognizes schedules in the following formats:
QxH - Hourly schedules where x is the number of hours between administrations
QxD - Daily schedules where x is the number of days between administrations
QxM - Monthly schedules where x is the number of months between administrations
If a schedule is defined for the Orderable Item selected when entering a new order, that schedule is displayed as the default for the order.
ADMINISTRATION TIMES
This defines the time(s) of day the order is to be given. If the schedule for the order contains PRN any administration times for the order will be ignored. In new order entry the default administration times are determined as described below:
If administration times are defined for the Orderable Item selected, they will be shown as the default for the order.
If administration times are defined in the ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE file (#51.1) for the patients ward and the orders schedule, they will be shown as the default for the order.
If administration times are defined for the Schedule, they will be shown as the default for the order.
PROVIDER
This identifies the provider who authorized the order. Only users identified as providers who are authorized to write medication orders may be selected.
SELF MED
Identifies the order as to be given for administration by the patient. This prompt is only shown if the SELF MED IN ORDER ENTRY field of the INPATIENT WARD PARAMETERS file (#59.6) is set to on.
NATURE OF ORDER
This specifies how the order originated. An order can be specified as written on the chart, telephoned, or verbal. This data is stored and displayed through OE/RR.
New Order Entry (IV)
TYPE
This describes the type of IV order to be placed. Orders identified as admixtures, chemotherapy admixtures, chemotherapy syringes (continuous) and hyperals are treated as continuous orders. Other types are assumed to be administered intermittently based on the orders schedule.
ADDITIVE
There can be any number of additives for an order, including zero. You can enter an additive or additive synonym. If your IRM Chief/Site Manager or Application Coordinator has defined it in the IV Additives file, you may enter a quick code for an additive. The quick code allows you to pre-define certain fields, thus speeding up the order entry process.
STRENGTH
The strength of the additive specified to be included in the order. Strength must be entered for each additive.
SOLUTION
There can be any number of solutions in an order, depending on the type. It is even possible to require zero solutions when an additive is pre-mixed with a solution. If no solutions are chosen, the computer will give you a warning message, in case it is an oversight, and give you an opportunity to add one. You may enter an IV solution or IV solution synonym.
VOLUME
This is the amount of the solution to be included in the order. The total volume of
the order is used along with Infusion Rate to determine projected administration times for the order.
INFUSION RATE
The infusion rate is the rate at which the IV is to be administered. This value, in conjunction with the total volume of the hyperal or the admixture type, is used to determine the time covered by one bag; hence the system can predict the bags needed during a specified time of coverage. This field is free text for piggybacks. For admixtures you must enter a number that will represent the infusion rate. You can also specify the # of bags per day that will be needed. Example: 125 = 125 ml/hr (IV system will calculate bags needed per day), 125@2 = 125 ml/hr with 2 labels per day, Titrate@1 = Titrate with 1 label per day. The format of this field is either a number only or @ (e.g., Titrate @ 1).
MED ROUTE
This is the route of administration for this medication (e.g., IV, SQ). If a corresponding abbreviation is found for this route in the MEDICATION ROUTES file, this module will print that abbreviation on its reports.
SCHEDULE
This defines the frequency the order is to be administered. Schedules may be selected from the ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULE file (#51.1) or non-standard schedules may be used. A non-standard schedule is one that does not have a consistent interval between administrations. Inpatient Medications recognizes schedules in the following formats:
